I'm looking for an extender for a 5/8" motor shaft. I've gotten a 5/8" to 1/2" adapter, but I could also use a 5/8" to 5/8" extension. I've looked online, and I can find step-up and step-down adapters, but my google skills aren't helping me on this one.. Has anyone seen something like this?

Not threaded, but a straight shaft. I'd like to get my wire wheel a bit farther from the motor body.

Sorry, I was completely distracted when I replied. No, I'm not looking for a coupler. You were correct the first time - I'm looking for a 5/8" threaded shaft for my 5/8" motor shaft.

You could get a coupler and a 5/8 bolt, cut the head off the bolt and put smooth part in the coupler, two nuts and washers to hold the wire wheel.
Doing it right cost less than doing it over

something like this but threaded on the smooth shaft?

Yes, like that with a threaded shaft on it.

you may have to some more digging but this one with a different bushing would work.

You might want to change out the set screws for allen screws to help it balance a bit better
