Thought about making an arbor that fits the ID nicely and flush with the surface, drilling straight down between them so you end up with a semi circle keyway, then finishing square with a file? I've shaped similar single point with the lathe topslide and mill quill feed too.

Good morning guys,progress has been made.My broaching set showed up so I went to work.First thing I had to do is make bushing the length of the bore.Which that took while cause I wanted it to fit (for change) Well I be finally made this then mill for broach but I went bout .020 to deep.Ok I was going to make shims since learning little more about broaching key way.So one of these is .062,and others are.020.I only used the 3 .020 shims so all is good.Going put these in pack put them in my box till next time.Guys the key was little to big so did some wet sanding till all slide together.Dang this little part was lot work but I’m smiling.Guy thanks for all help suggestions on my other post,so now it’s time to decide is I should pin the handle or mill flat spot for set screw.

Guys,I think I am finish. Taken it for little test drive listening for sound of grinding gears but don't hear it. I think I just started with 3 spacers then turn it by hand seems good so I went with that. After putting all together I send table one way then another and change speeds. Sounds good,but I really don't know one way or the other. I just need to install the switch for table stops then support the wiring then I will be 100% finish. This is one little project that really tested me in several area's but with ya'll help all went well. Slow but I wasn't punching clock on this project. And for once I made a shaft that had to fit,and there is no sloppy fit so that is good.
