For awhile our drive sprocket (the one coming off a shaft attached to the drill motor) was only attached by two set screws (albeit to flats in the shaft) and we never had any problems with it. I believe we did end up pinning and key waying it in the end (don't ask me, I'm not that much of a mechanical guy). Set screws, if used properly, are just fine. Use them properly and you'll be fine. Just like anything, using it improperly is bad.
