This is a problem because as far as my team can figure there is no way to drive a shaft with these bevel gears. Is there a way to drive a shaft without a keyway or a set screw using these bevel gears or did we get shafted and need to return these bevel gears?
"Plain bore" is an important part of the description of the product. They are furnished with the expectation that you will broach a keyway in them or otherwise modify them to suit your needs.
