By the way there is an expression that has not been used around here in a while, but I remember it from my first Kickoff, back when you HAD to go to Manchester.
"Set Screws Inhale Audibly" (they suck)
If you are just using the set screw to hold a key in place then things will probably work out fine. But if you are trying to carry the torque from the gearbox with the setscrew then you are in for big problems. Teams doing this was a major issue back then.
