Step 8Mark the shaft for drilling out

Mark the shaft for drilling out
The motor will have a drive shaft running into it, thus we need to have access hole in the housing and a shaft hole. Use a center punch to insure a good shaft hole.

Here you see me attempting to hold the center punch and camera at the same time. The center punch indents the metal when hit with a hammer. This dent will guide the drill bit so your shaft hole is about as perfect as can be made without a lathe.

Then drill the housing with a larger diameter hole so the shaft doesn't rub.
