    Keys are made of soft material to act as a "circuit breaker" of
    sorts. If you shear the key you are over torquing the device. If you
    use a hardened key you will risk breaking the shaft or gears or frame
    of your mill. I think you have found the limits of your drive
    mechanisms. 

Regards,
Jim
