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

I would reccomend pins over setscrews. With bevel gears, both radial and axial position are very important. Even if your setscrew is tightened into a flat on the shaft, the bevel gear could still slide along the shaft.
