Re: How to attach Bevel Gears to shaft when they are not keyed or have set screws

Set screws have never not failed me.
Last year we made lots of shafts with pins.
Just drill a 1/8" hole through the middle and into the shaft. Then we used steel welding rod as the pins.
You *may* also have success using sheet metal screw as pins.
