LABZSTS Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hello ! This topic is for questions regarding "odd requests" for Cannonpowerworks. I have some of mine of course. My first and second one is in regards to filing. I may have asked before but I'm not sure if I ever got a response. If paid, would you file any gripper selected? The description on the website doesn't feature any stipulations so I'm inclined to ask if you would preform such a procedure on grip genie for example. I ask since they have thinner handles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Yeah, we’ll file any aluminum handles. We can’t do steel at this time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABZSTS Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) My second question is would you file both handles of a singular gripper if commissioned for it? Would it be beneficial for both to be altered or would it be a waste? Edited January 16, 2023 by LABZSTS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s possible by hand, but we’re not doing it by hand. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABZSTS Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 So it's not an odd request, but I do have question. For those springs that you sell and handles, if I wanted each setting rated, would I have to buy 4 rating services? I don't mind if I have to but I'd like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilBB Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Would it be possible for you to make extra wide standard grippers? Would love a super wide platinum and iron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorOfCrush Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I can’t speak for @Cannon, but I know he has said previously that the adjustables may not be coming back after the unexpected passing of Tom, his previous manufacturing partner for the line. But if you already have the gripper and handles, that’s a different story. From Standard line updates thread: “Standard Adjustable sets might be on the chopping block. This was an idea I had early when I got into grip; making springs with universal barrels so all handles and springs would be interchangeable. They are expensive to produce and the set screws are not perfect. Early on we switched to cup-point set screws which have more "bite" but then also chew up the aluminum barrels quicker. Right now I'm still not sure if this project makes sense going forward.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if I have to but I'd like to know When I bought a set the rating charge was per spring. So the 3 spring set was 3 rating charges. The additional Ti and wide Fe springs were two additional rating charges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yeah there are some wide standard iron's out there, mine is 158, i remember seeing some of them go heavier when they were available. I'd be interested in more obnoxiously wide standards too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if I have to but I'd like to know We only charged once per spring to find a starting point at the flush mount. From there, the other lines were reliably +X from the start. No reason for more ratings because the +X is good enough when the adjustability might not always land in the exact same spot every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably release the wide iron springs as another choice in the line. Why not right? Like with the Legacy grippers we will mount them all over the place so they vary for sure. The widest springs get the deepest mounts in order to be as hard as possible. Then the most narrow ones get shallow mounts to be as easy as possible. The middle range sorts itself out because it’s not an exact recipe to get what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 2 hours ago, C8Myotome said: Also yes I drew on the Fe with plans to file it but never went through with it, too unique of a gripper to file. Rubbing alcohol takes off Sharpie well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The swappable adjustables were an invention idea I’d had in my head since I ever started gripping. I’m glad we were able to bring it to the market. I will address this eventually with Justin and maybe we can bring it back, but right now it’s one step at a time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Standard adjustables are absolutely great for people living outside of US (like me). Huge value. One spring is not "only" 4 rated grippers. The space between levels is relatively large, so it is very easy to measure/mark the 0.5 levels accurately. So it's more like 7 rated grippers. Also, adding a Level 4 makes the gripper very wide but still very usable, so it's like 9 rated grippers. Then you can use filed handles with the same spring, so... I'm so glad I bought them when they were still available. They play an essential role in my gripper progress. If I could change one thing about them, it would be switching from aluminum to steel barrels. I wouldn't mind paying extra for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 1 minute ago, C8Myotome said: Chromium sounds awesome...any pics of what it would look like finish wise???? Would it be smooth or knurled? I guess I can look up images of chromium metal >_> I don't really have a preference between aluminum vs steel, they feel the same. I meant for the name of the gripper. Visually it would look like the rest of the Standard grippers. I looked back at my notes and it seems that Chromium is actually harder than Tungsten and now I remember I was kind of saving that in case we ever made a low 200s gripper. The metal that is actually between Iron and Cobalt is... drumroll... Nickel! And "between" isn't entirely accurate because it actually shares the same MPa as Iron, which is almost poetic because they would share a spring. So what I'm saying is that we might just add the wide Iron springs to the line as a 10th gripper called Nickel with the symbol Ni. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of other wide models or just the iron? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
