Re: Key-Way for Gates Sprockets

Saber saw keyways are scary, but not as scary as relying on setscrews for power transmission. I'm a firm believer that setscrews are evil for anything other than potentiometer knobs, sensor couplings, and holding keys firmly in their slots. You may think using a setscrew for power transmission will be quick and easy, but I guarantee you will pay the price down the line.
