Laser / water / plasma / EDM cutting the bottom sounds quite reasonable.
I'm trying to figure out what the application is here. It looks like you want to attach something to a shaft, and trying to use a collet with a set screw. Why not put the set screw in your bottom part? Or perhaps use a shaft key? What kind of forces and what kind of load is this thing taking?
But if I had to answer your direct question: spec some screw holes, welding has downsides for what I think the application is (cost, axis alignment).
- huhtenberg 3y agoThe shaft is a part of the existing rotisserie device. The shaft has a square cross-section and it can accept various mountable attachments, e.g. [1] and [2]. They all use collets, so I'm just following their design here. Force-wise - about a pound of load per "arm", give or take, not much really. Re: screw holes - noted, thanks.

- Scene_Cast2 3y agoIn that case, if you make your mounting part a square or rectangular block instead of a cylinder, this way you can avoid the use of a lathe. Or if you spec the outside diameter of your cylinder to be some common size (+/- some loose tolerance), then that would avoid machining the outside (as there's cylindrical metal slock). I also realized that my original suggestion of "set screw on the bottom part" is also probably hard to manufacture.
