I think he was referring to the smaller 1/8" shaft. It would take quite a bit of force to snap a 5mm shaft! If shaft snap is still a concern, how about adding an extension on the end of the shaft and supporting it (via bearing) on the far end?

Anyway, nice work on the 9.5mm Al! Even if the final product isn't as pretty as a machined peice, full kudos are earned simply because a pre-made part wasn't used.
