One trick I came up with is to use a shorter than normal set-screw, and put a cylindrical piece of brass or plastic that matches the internal diameter of the setscrew threads into the screw hole underneath the set-screw. The screw pushes on the cylindrical 'key' allowing use of shafts with key slots, and will still shear off the way a key would, but probably at a lower torque. You could use a fatter set-screw to get the key width up and mill flats on it if you were so inclined... -fenn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
