Hi folks, I've been a modeling madman getting all my parts in the modeling app so I can get some precise connecting plates fabricated. IN the process, I was assembling lots of parts together, like ballscrews, end supports, gearing...
This is where I noticed that the gears lock in place using a set screw, only the ballscrews are machined smooth. There's no flat side for the set screw to lock onto. Is this customary, we just screw directly onto the round shaft? Do we drill a detent for the screw? Do we file down a side?
Forgive my ignorance n this matter, it's not something I do everyday;)
