Re: Hex vs. Key
There is also the option of woodruff keys which are stronger and will not slide out, but I will admit, hex is nice.
The only thing that is kind of annoying about hex is when you go from round shaft down to a smaller hex. Then you have to mill it with an indexing head (or 4th axis in the case of CNC).
