I think cross-pinning is better than threading and much better than shrink fitting.
Not read any of the posts with stuck morse tapers? Simply fitting a cold taper into a warm sleeve makes things very difficult to separate. An elevated temperature for the outer would grip exceedingly effectively, especially with different coeffs. of expansion, IMO.
Cheap, fast and effective.
Well of course it might work!
But it's a good deal shorter than a Morse taper, and I've never seen one that a sharp tap on a tapered drift wouldn't separate, unless it was rusted in past redemption. We all know they're supposed to drive on the taper, not the tang – but we've equally most of us seen twisted tangs, too.
I'm only expressing a personal preference, but myself I'd not only cross-pin it, I wouldn't try to conceal it either, so that another engineer could see how to fix it if it did eventually fail in one way or another. Even if it's an attractive one, it's a tool, not a piece of jewellery.
