Crazy, I only use SHS pistons. I have 3 SSG builds with 50k-150K shots on them, did not glue the rack. Building a DSG now, I have not glued the rack, at about 6k shots no problems yet.
With higher speed setups or high trigger sensitivity builds, there have been instances of the sector gear contacting that tooth before the spring fully decompresses. I only keep a piston with a full rack of teeth when going above 1.8J on semi auto. Even though the teeth on the piston are metal and the sector gear teeth are metal, it's a practice that is done for good measure to reduce wear.
Okay, sorry, but this is so half-assed. You should be using the dremel wheel to rough up all the surface areas of the rack that contact the piston when inserted. Also should be using sand paper or a sharp tool to rough up the rack track in the piston. And then after all that, its CRITICAL that all surfaces are free of any oils. I use 99% rubbing alcohol to wipe everything down several times. You can wet some paper towel with 99% and use a small flat head to thoroughly clean out the rack tracks. Also, for anyone watching, never use grinding wheels indoors. That dust gets everywhere. Including in your lungs if you don't wear a mask...
I have no idea what I'm watching. I'll finnish the video out of pure frustration.

BRUH all my SHS pistons strip! Now I only use REAL DEAL Performance Pistons.
Hello, why did you need to dremmel the teeth?

@@sjdude922 gotcha
I had this piston for 2 years and I just learned that I had to epoxy the toothed rack. I feel so stupid now
It's just experience. Some people luck out and haven't had to but if you can guarantee it won't get damaged by preparing ahead of time then why not?
Pls review or try the ICS Master mods
hello friend I'm a newbie in this stuff, should i remove some teeth for building a DMR?
i like shs piston
