Hello all, I have my dryer almost complete, but need some adapters for the motors. They have a half round half flat shaft. I have seen some in the photo section with similar motors, but they have an adapter on motor shaft that has a threaded end to attach the chuck to.
Does anyone know where I might find such an adapter? I searched the forum, and nothing came up, and I have looked at many of the hobby shop sites, Graniger, and other sites, but nothing so far. Thanks, Stephen Re: Dryer motor shaft adapter needed

If you search this wording "rod building motor shaft coupler" using google you will find what you are looking for. Re: Dryer motor shaft adapter needed

James, thank you! I did a google search, how would we live without google, right? but I did not use the exact wording you did, and what I had come up with was not at all what I needed.

Stephen,
Anyone with a lathe can make such an adapter in about 5 minutes. An easy thing to do, is to take your motor to a hardware store and find a threaded coupling adapter that slips over the shaft of your motor tightly. Use the opposite end to thread in a machine screw to hold the chuck. Then, use a drill and tap to cross drill the portion of the nut that slips onto the motor to insert a set screw to retain the coupling nut on the motor shaft. If you don't have the tools, just find a friend or other that does and have them do the work for you. [www.google.com] [www.google.com] Re: Dryer motor shaft adapter needed

All you need is a round piece of any steel and drill and tap for a set screw. Lone Wolf Rods "Keep your powder dry and your lines wet" God Bless Re: Dryer motor shaft adapter needed
