Someone on Ebay had a type of shaft couplers up for half price, I got like
100 or so. Basically a long collar with two set screws, if your alignment is
good they work well enough for reasonably light duty.

I'll try and run into the brand name it's on the bag but not in my emails,
they're on the web and were relatively cheap even at retail. I think the bag of
25 was only like $20 straight from them.

Heck let me just take a few pics of the CNC, it's right here so will only
take a few minutes to put some up. I've never even done anything past drilling
on it so not sure it's up to too much more, but it's good enough to do some stuff.
