store bought adaptor

shaft  to bolt for prop connection

Where can I buy a coupler to go from 58 shaft to a 12 or bigger bolt to hook prop onto a PM motor. I have been making them out of 1 inch round stock but this is very time consumming and hard with out a good drill press or lathe to get accuarte so it will run straight and not wobble.  Where I live the nearest big hardware store is 3 hours away, does anybody know of a place online to order this part

homebrew;

They are called a "motor arbor"

Harbor Freight has a couple. I use these to mount props to tape drive motors. $2 each plus shipping so I got 5 or 6 in 5/8th for TDMs.

http://order.harborfreight.com/

search for "motor arbor" goes right to it.

Looks like this:

Cheers.
