If anyone would like, I can take a couple of photos of the assembled
gearbox
ready to go back into the mill and upload them to the drop box - I won't
bother unless someone asks.

Please do.

For the lazy old guys, please provide a link, ala:

What's with the brass/bronze, non-hypoid, non-helical, curve-toothed
gear thingy, Unca (Aunt?) Winnie?


going to take photos now - I didn't provide a link with original post
because the files hadn't appeared in the drop box when I made the posting.

If the gear to which you refer is the one at the "top" of the stack, that is
the driven gear - there is a worm gear that drives it, and the worm gear is
driven (via a flat belt, which is what started the whole mess) by a 2 HP
motor that is inside the base of the mill. There is a picture of the mill
itself on my web page (wbnoble.com) under hobbies/tools and a search for
Abene VHF-3 will turn up lots of photos.

I will attempt to post the photos with names that will make them come out
adjacent to the ones that are already there, and I'll accompany them with
another annoying text file lacking carriage returns. Look for them in an
hour or so
