My guess is that the set-screw tip is worn. Get a new set-screw and while you are at it replace the woodruff key as well

The key word in Maynard's reply is GOOD hardware.  You want a cup point, square head, hardened set screw.  Big Box stores don't usually carry the best variety.

That set screw should be an Allen head, 5/16-18 x 5/16, and the woodruff key is 3/16 x 3/4. If you have a Fastenal in the area, they should have what you need.

 

Oops, looks like you are one step ahead of me. :thumbs:

My B 80 has two set screws. I didn't know that and the one on the key kept working loose until I found the other one and tightened it, seems to be fine now.
