I've file one or three in my years of working with mechanical things, in a
pinch. If you have good files, and patience, you can actually get a very
good keyway with this method, getting it started straight is the worst

Alright, I may do that. Lots of good suggestions, I'll try them out
and see what works the best.
Thanks again,
