Is it possible to adjust the clutch on the feed shaft? I can make it slip a bit more easily than I feel ok with. The manual doesn't say, but I know a few of you, such as @Brent H and @RobinHood have been into this model deeper than I have.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

That's where it's supposed to be isn't it? I mean if its in front, that means you've been.... Nope, not going there, none of my business.......
I am glad I am not the only never grow up 12 year old boy in the crowd laughing at this one.
Thanks Brent!
Thanks Brent!
I concur with @Brent H ’s assessment of the possible cause of the clutch slipping.
The detents can be reworked to improve their functionality. One option is to go to the next size bigger ball bearings (even just going with metric ones, slightly bigger) can help a lot once their pockets are cleaned / re-machined.
