I also tried slipping a piece of 5/8" Outside Diameter plastic water pipe on the shaft with no locking screw. It also works very well. (friction fit) (I needed to drill out the Inside Diameter to a tiny bit over 12 mm.)
While drilling out the plastic pipe, make up several extra pieces in various lengths. I have found these useful for spacers and bushing reducers for grinding wheels.

Awesome, if you ever decide you don't need the KG RPM increaser then let me know and I'd buy it from you at a good price for you. I don't know that I'd want to make my own though, don't want to jimmy up my Tormek and ruin it. How does this affect the longevity of the machine anytime you increase RPM?
Otherwise a similar to the KG version can be found here:
