well, although machining is half the fun, we're not that luxurious to have access to one....so we try to manage as much as we can without having to customize stuff and using raw materials that we can fabricate using simple tools.
I guess during heavy torque conditions slippage may happen with the set screws... fine fine... i'll pin the darn things... (1 or 2? hehe)
