They probably have that part plastic so if something goes down it's just the gear instead of something else more serious.

I've done a few designs like that.

 

It interacts with a metal bevel gear, transfers power from motor shaft vertically to spindle sander. If you've ever used a spindle sander you know that if you put too much pressure on it the paper will spin around the drum. Making this of plastic is not necessary and I would bet a very pretty penny they did design this as a weak point, but only to make sales $$$ It is absolutely not necessary, too simple a system. I would rather it interface with another plastic than to have one metal and one plastic. It could be their way of getting around lubricating the bevel gears, I don't think they're enclosed with oil.

I've seen it like this for well over a year

 

Most likely in this day in age, less maintenance the better with no oil or grease to deal with. Plastic is cheaper.

Better selling point in that aspect

I need to build a freaking storage shed on the side of the house. Love to build a motor on the side and get more tools.

Looks like it is time to 3d print some nylon gears to hold you over or design a gear so people upgrade from you. Steal their $$$

 

Scan the plastic and laser metal sinter a metal one.

Or have one made out of brass.

 

That would cost as much as the equipment

 

It's time!

 

Changing the clutch?

 

Yes!

 

Going lightened flywheel and dual friction clutch from LCE!

 

I know those transmissions too well.

 

Rear main seal, check

 

So, went for the maiden voyage today; I gotta relearn how to drive again

So, the thing I was most excited for with this flywheel was the shorter shift times. Needless to say, I am VERY happy with shift times now..

Because it is lower mass, it now sounds like I am a Super newb trying to take off from a stop lmao

So far, so good!

 

So sexy

 

That's good to hear. How's the clutch pedal feel compared to stock? Is it a lot stiffer?

 

Softer actually. Smoother action, and it's the same throughout the whole stroke, unlike the stock one where you get that definite point of engagement. I hope that makes sense lol just played a round of golf so I'm all tired

 

Yeah. That makes sense.
