I'll tell you what, the teeth on the BP gears are beefy ! I have mine shimmed perfectly and like you said zero flex with the FLM bulks. I honestly think they'll be fine for a long while(fat fingers crossed)

I'm useing a electric/corded Jig Saw. I'm cutting both 3/16" plates at the same time so I'm cutting through a LOT of material. I've tried several types of blades and teeth count.
When I've changed blades it's not because the blades were completely worn out they just stopped cutting as well as new blades. The saw I have is a 5-1/2amp model so it's plenty powerful, the 7075 in pretty hard stuff.

I hate the fact that I'm worried and everyone trashes the Flux tranny. I'm trying to keep an open mind that with a well set slipper it might be ok ?
