ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for fixing a member at any angular position to the non-circular cross section of a shaft has an insert formed of a relatively soft material and a clamping element fixed to the member. The insert has a central bore whose cross section matches the shaft section cross section, a circular periphery, and a slot between the periphery and the central bore. The clamping element is formed of relatively hard, rigid material, and has a bore in surrounding relation to the periphery of the insert and conforming to it so as to permit rotation of the member with respect to the insert while the clamping element bore is undistorted. There is at least one tooth on the periphery of the clamping element bore projecting radially inward toward the insert. Preferably the periphery of the clamping element bore is completely knurled instead of having a single tooth. The clamping element includes means to be operated with the insert on the shaft cross section which distorts the clamping element adjacent its bore to force the tooth into the insert's periphery and compress the insert to fix the member and the insert to the shaft. The angular position of the member is set as desired before the clamping element is distorted.
