What's the best way of attaching a wooden (plywood) flywheel to the shaft of a DC motor? The flywheel is relatively small (4 inches in diameter). I'm still deciding on the motor, but the diameter of the motor shaft will probably be somewhere around 5/16 inch.
I was thinking of just drilling a hole in the flywheel and using some sort of glue, but I want to make sure that when the flywheel is attached to the motor, the spin is flat (no precession), stable, and durable, especially for my high RPM application. I was also considering using a propeller adaptor designed for RC drones so that I wouldn't have to attach anything to the motor shaft permanently, but then I need to figure out how to attach the wheel to the prop adaptor.
What do you guys think? Have you done anything similar in your projects? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
