Somewhere in the house I've got lots of new grub screws. I can see that I
could employ them to make home-made brass shaft couplers for fractional
motors and stuff. If I had my own lathe I'd simply drill brass rod for the
shaft, and drill and tap for the grub screws.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has a selection of brass rods knocking
around who might be willing to make the couplers. I think that there would
be no need to drill for a shaft diameter more than say 10mm and possibly
less. I'd want a selection of couplers for shafts from say 3mm up to say
10mm-ish. Certainly I need 1/4" shaft couplers.

Anyone live near Wakefield or Huddersfield area? I could bring over the grub
screws.

Just testing the waters. :c)
