@projectnut, Good thing you have a phenolic gear to protect that shear pin!

Slightly off subject, does any one know how to calculate approx what torque a shear pin will shear? I'm thinking the shear factor of that size and type of metal multiplied by 2.

It should be the shear modulus times the cross-sectional area, times the unit conversion factors you need. Consult Machinery's Handbook.
