Hi David,

  When I built my rsg I bought  a "split taper bushing". From
http://www.grainger-dot-com/industrial-parts/product_index68.htm  I lost the set
screw, that is why I had hose clamps holding it on when you saw it :^)  Some
have a set screw or a keyway,others have two pieces, that when tightened
together squeeze the motor shaft. I'm not real sure if this is what
everybody else uses. It worked for me though.
