matthcarl Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well, I just now did close the RB 240N...so I doubt it it is much harder than the #2.5, if at all. Next up is the 260N! I have only tried my own #3, so I have no comparison with hard/easy. The spread on mine is 3" and I can hardly set it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlstrass Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I've got 2 BBSM's that calibrate as follows: 2.64 for the one that's a year or so old, and the new one is a 2.77, so not quite a 2.8 I have a 240N that calibrates to 2.8, so that's where I got the 2.8 number "guessing" at work without my list in front of me. Just received a 260N that's a 2.84 It's been my experience since calibrating all my grippers that .5 makes a pretty big difference. I also have an RB210 that calibrates to 2.62, same as my #2.5, but it's MUCH harder as the spread is 3 1/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John4cars Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Congrats Matt. I remember when I closed my coc#2, I was on top of the world that day. But it will be a while until I close what you just closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will be a while until I close what you just closed. You might surprise yourself...it took me a year to get from the #2 to the 2.5, but a lot of more dedicated people do it faster than that Maybe I will get a BBSM. I do like the sharper knurling, and I'm not sure the 260N is enough harder than the 240N to be a big help. I got it down to about 1/8" today.

John Eaton Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Great work Matt I knew if you practiced your parallel set you would kill that 2.5. I think you ought to come out to the GGC next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to come out for the GGC, but I have to work that day. It's the last weekend the horse track is open here in Saratoga, and there's no way I can weasel out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
