I really like your Idea of using the Cam lock approach for a 4Axis
chuck adapter. In my case I have 3 chucks for my lathe that uses D1-5

The guys at the shop where I last worked beside used to slightly grind the

That way, the "higher up" flutes did not re-cut swarf, and thus deflect the

You could mill a 10mm wide x 5mm deep slot in two rectangular bars, then
silver-braze them together.
Might not be strong enough, depends on if the OD is big enough to leave a
reasonable joint area.
Welding would probably leave a hardened zone and be miserable to machine
afterwards.

These need a 10mm square hole (but 3/8 would be fine too).
