    if you cant spot a ujoint you need to stop welding. i put a small tig spot on both ends of the shaft to keep the ujoint from sliding down or the shaft from sliding into the rag joint. a set punch can do the same thing but i will never trust a set screw. remember the power tour a few years ago ?
