Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts
Can someone explain the purpose of the plastic "top hat" for the CIM modification? Is it some sort of bushing to support the shaft? Is it absolutely neccesary? Do the screws holding it to the carrier gear actually need to transfer much torque, or is it just to press it up to the gear?

Normally, the ring from the first gear stage keeps this second ring from tilting, but with the entire first gear stage removed, there is nothing but air to do this. As to torque, there is no torque needed at all. In fact, there is no reason to have more than 2 screws. We just used 4 because there were four planets on gear stage one, which suggested to us to use 4 screws. Absolutle overkill. Joe J. |

Alright, so there is no reason to even widen those holes (hardened steel isn't so fun to machine). Just find some small enough screws or other fastener.

In fact, if you could find a washer with at 5/16 hole and 1.650 or so OD, you could probably eliminate the tophat entirely (together with the above and a standard 5/16 washer) Good thinking. Joe J. |
