<DIV>Hi Dale,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, I read that knuckle moving thread with much =
interest! So
much new stuff has come up since I was on my extended maternity leave, =
it seems
I've been spending quite a bit of my very part-time income on new =
and
improved technology (So how much is that slotting jig?). I must =
admit that
previously I lived a very protected life as a dealer technician and then =
as a
university technician where I didn't have to deal with stuff quite like
this. I'm pedaling as fast as I can to catch up. This =
list is a
great help. Thanks so much.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3> Size does not equal weight. In order to =
track this in
real terms a few strike or hammer weight samples are needed. =
Don't freak
out at the physical size of the hammer, it's the weight one is =
concerned
with. If these are on A 15.5 mm knuckle/shank the touch weight will =
not
be managed by friction,reg or magic pills. Get the new Kaplan =
slotting
jig now & solve soo many of this actions problems in a few short =
hours.
Shameless promotion. grin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Or rent one. Yes, it's a new concept but =
hey what's
it worth to ya.?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Just a thought</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Dale</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> actually I can take a real good guess =
at which
parts/shank this action needs simply by how it regulates. =
What's the
dip at the pin and the blow distance both measured very
acurately?</FONT></DIV>
