<p>Yes, and original post said .12 or .15 . So .12 is pretty
close to .125 or 1/8. inch. See below.<br>
</p>
<p>Just wanted to point out the error so someone doesn't come across
the original post and think it is correct. Errors propagated
around enough become myths or even "facts". <br>

<p>I do not have a BJ8 or any 3000 series manual to look

<p>Should the clearance be .012 or .015 not the .12 and
.15 given below?</p>
<p>I think around an 1/8 inch would be pretty
noisy,..... <br>
