I am wondering why aren't you guys using key/keyway... I mean, I know both method will work really well, but I tend to think that a key is more reliable than a pin or set screw. I am sure you guys already talked about this, but... What factors contribute to your decision of drilling a hole and put set screw through?

And when you said you've been using this for the past three years, I assume you are talking about custom made couplings... or do I not know Small Parts have been providing those couplings for a few years now?
