Re: servo motor shaft 5/8 to 1/4...best way??

There are also several Places that sell
Pulley stock material in Aluminum.
Those are basicly just blank Aluminum
with the proper outer profile machined.
They can be cut to any length and machined
to fit any shaft as long it is smaller then
the min. dia.
