do not always rely on set screws to connect sprockets or gears to shafts. keys are always a good choice to use whenever possible.

I know there are some out there who will disagree with me (cough...Paul...cough) but I've used setscrews for gear allignment in the past with no problems. I'll never transfer torque with a setscrew, but using them to keep gears in place on a shaft... no problem.

Set screws don't inhale audibly... poor engineering inhales audibly.
