    Sheer Pin for Standard Modern 9” Model A

    Hey Johnwa, that’s a great link thanks. Seems that regular brass rod would work just fine. Are you familiar with the annealing process? I might try this to confirm it will “sheer”

    Sheer Pin for Standard Modern 9” Model A

    That is a very good observation! I noticed that the previous pin I broke didn’t seem to go through all the way. This is probably because they did not taper the pin. Thanks!

    Sheer Pin for Standard Modern 9” Model A

    I looked in the manual and I couldn’t find that. Thanks for pointing it out! I think I bought the correct stuff then. I wouldn’t imagine there would be a wide variety in tensile strength through the different grades of brass out there... Unfortunately still using the same set up. I actually...

    Thank Yota, i’m not exactly sure why I was quoted a different price than the sheet I was sent. Maybe he felt bad for me having to get the 5 step hahah. I will double check that the set screw location works thanks! And just to double check that my lathe has one “stock” pulley the motor pulley...

    I did some calculations and if the larger pulley is put on the motor side it will up my RPM’s even more. I would prefer to buy a perfect replacement but that does not seem to be an option and I’d like to have a little bit more range from my gearbox in the 300 - 400 RPM area
