I ran into problems putting keyseats into the crankshafts, so I decided to drill a hole and screw in a setscrew to become a drive pin. It worked out pretty well on crankshaft #2, but #3 is proving to be very hard to drill. I took 8tyman8's advice and tried a carbide cement drill bit. It is making some small chips, but is taking forever to make a hole. I guess it is making me earn its repsect, or something! I don't give up easily though, I will be making a hole in it somehow!!! I dulled six 3/16" drill bits putting the hole in crankshaft #2, I had to resort to a carbide Dremel cutter to get thru the hard spot, then it was easy going.
