AirToolFioters The saw slot can quickly abrade the surface rotating against it.Doug/Zero-Max: Improper tightening of multiple screws can cause bushing slippage. Axial movement of the bushing on the shaft when tightening can cause some alignment loss. Some connections feature a single tightening screw flint can be torqued if necessary for proper clamping force.Best practicesWhat are considered "best practices" when designing with locking devices?Carl/Ringfeder: Aside from the obvious design parameters, engineers should ask the following questions:* What are the application requirements of the device?* Is the locking device only used to simplify installation or is adjustment, removal, or maintenance necessary?
