Ever have those days where you loose stuff?
Was feeding down on the mill, and felt the handle slip. Odd. Tear it apart and the key is gone, WHERE, its in a captive keyway, and it didn't shear. So I file a new one to fit, set it on the mill vice, clean up a couple of things go to put it in and its gone, no where to be found, searched around with a magnet no sign of it, Made another and got the mill back in operation. Ok the second one means I need to clean the shop but can't believe that quill handle has been working without a key all these years so where'd the first one go.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
