Well that would work if I had a 1/2" keyway broach..... but naturally, I don't.
I don't think I would ever see anything come through my home shop that required a key that big. I do have a 1/2" broach, but it's a square broach. Because it cuts on all 4 sides it needs a round hole to start in. I really should pick up a few metric broaches though. Plenty of imports around here - tools, machines, cars....
But for now at least I think I will go with the 10mm - 3/8" stepped key idea. If I end up shearing off a key I can always re-cut the keyway in the ratchet later. Or just weld the ratchet to the pinion... depending on what kind of mood I am in after shearing off a key and busting my knuckles.

Too funny Rob. That is exactly the way it works, as my wife tells me. We used to do battle over those terms sometimes. But she informed me that a "couple" means 2, and a "few" means 3! Been that way ever since....
Ha ha ha ha Willie it sounds like your good lady knows a thing or few
Any way I think you have gone way overboard with your controler , total over kill !
Quote: But being a typical lazy American I would want a controller that reads out in Fahrenheit so I know immediately what I'm looking at. Conversion chart?
And the method I am about to describe is in Fahrenheit
, here goes , I was playing trivial pursuit last night the new edition and I got this question and thought of Willie straight away 
,not sure I should have typed that !Question ,
What can you tell about the weather by counting cricket chirps ?
Answer ,
Temperature - The old farmer's Almanac suggests counting the chirps in 14 seconds ,then adding 40 to get the temperature in Fahrenheit
Whats do you think ? ,no need for a thermocouple or black box

If it's a Canadian cricket, would it chirp in Celcius?

Nope you would need a phone app to do the conversion

Maybe so, but to paraphrase Ed... I would rather shoot for overkill than underkill.

I think I would go back to using crayons before trusting any "city" crickets. They don't know anything about being a meteorologist!

I had to laugh at that for a "couple" of reasons, but mostly because I just went through that yesterday myself. I saw this posted on another forum and immediately thought of a guy I used to work with turning wrenches, that happens to have 2 dachshunds at home. I just had to email this photo to him and suggest he re-name his animals "Imperial" and "Metric".

Is it better to trim a little from both sides of the key, or take it all off from one side?
No engineering schooling on my resume.
I'm just guessing one 90° corner (stress riser) is better than having 2?
