One of the ATM’rs at the ATMQ (ATM Qld) told me of an old engineer’s trick. To ensure the correct mesh between the bronze gear on my MT2 motor and the same size bronze gear on the end of the worm shaft, place a single sheet of cigarette paper between the gears and tighten the grub screws onto the D flats on their respective shafts and then wind the paper through to get rid of it.

It seems that cigarette paper is the correct thickness!

I have never smoked and I don’t know of anyone who rolls their own so I haven’t tried this yet.

Cheers

Dennis
