dam, bet you swore hard at that,
i know there are heaps of flash steels that are about 3 times the tensile strength of mild steel on paper, and this is going to cause controversy, but your just so much better off using mild steel for all the experimental (possibly all of our home made projects) cos in my experience it holds up just as well (sometimes better
)
being so much easier to work with and drill, and ive seen so many examples of these exact types of problems where mild steel would just mushroom at bit at the end and forgive you, heaps of brushless motored die grinder shafts ive made and port heads with daily have lived for 12 years with lots of overhanging loads when the high end steels would crack after a few weeks??
dont be fooled by all the theory of triple the strength, people love talking about high grade everything (7000 series aluminum being stronger than steel etc) , but it just doesnt hold true in the real world, mild steel is our friend for all this guesswork/experimental type stuff.
and could you put 5-20 amps across a winding, measure the voltage to give us the resistance of a phase, it would help work out how you should terminate.
meanwhile id best hide from the barrage of spec sheets and formulas of even less user friendly materials. :lol:
edit this will be an awesome motor so keep up the good work, and cos of your massive axle it will be way strong enough either way.

, working on that.
