Given that we are talking about a 1/4" shaft here, I am inclined to just machine for an arbitrary 4 degrees. And figure on the initial fitting not reaching all the way thru the gear with a hand push. The idea being to get away from the flange for increased crush flexibility. I'll finish the hub, then fit the hole in the gear accordingly. This is turning into a major project. :) I just looked in the Handbook, which doesn't cover the Browning stuff that I could find. The one taper they do discuss is really steep, 3.5"/foot, and preliminary math says that is way too steep since I only need a 10 thou crush worst case. That would have a nominally .175" taper in .600". We'll figure out something, never fear. Called in for lunch, I had half a dozen snow flakes go by my nose walking down to the house. No comment on slitting it with a diamond wheel running under K1? Or has someone a much faster way?
