Like said in a previous post, the set screw in the pinion makes it a bit unbalanced as it is. Grinding a flat spot on the shaft helps negate this imbalance as long as it only as long/deep as it needs to be. Truthfully, I really never gave it much thought before. Of course, if I was eating spurs/pinions, I probably would look closer at this.
