Re: Set screw holes to act as keyways

The method you're considering is going to be subpar for just about any FRC purposes. The screw is going to be very weak to start with relative to a pin/keyway and will be in single shear. with the dog screw you at least have double shear.

Roll/shear pins are pretty easy to install. You could also look into a trantorque, if you have a large enough ID and have no means of creating a keyway and don't want to drill through the shaft.
