Willie, it's a two way street (or highway) you've certainly cast your bread on the waters and it's good to hear that you've gotten back more than wet soggy bread. (boy! I'm waxing poetic today).

Great idea Dallen, stepped key material is even available,
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

No stepped key stock here Greg, but I do have a drawer full of the straight stuff - and a mill.

I've seen stepped keys on gear drives that had a 150 and bigger HP motors hooked up to it.
