I needed a set for my Logan. (I run into a lot of wacky metric threads an
antique French lamps)
So I cut a 37/47 pair on my horizontal mill (too small to swing a 127).

It has become my philosophy, that when making parts for my more common
machinery, to make a few extra and ebait them out.

I ganged a stack of aluminum blanks and milled out nine sets.

They sold quite well. Paid for materials, tooling and shop time.

I think that, if some one was round up a small hobber and the necessary
tooling, they could probably make a decent part time job out of hobbing out
change gears.

If any one needs hobbers..Im sure I can round up a machine or two.
