Forward Gears
The HF mini lathe hasn't been used since I got the slightly bigger much
older, and much better HF lathe. I wanted to use it the other day though because it has gear selectable forward and reverse carriage feed. The I remembered I stripped those little nylon gears. I am sure I can get a hold of HF customer service and get a part number for those gears if its not in my manual for the machine, but I was wondering if somebody knew of a source for metal replacements? I know Little Machine Shop was the threading gear set in metal, but I didn't see the rest of the gears for the machine. My next thought was maybe to try and make some metal gears, but I have never done that before. Any suggestions on the approach for that? Best alloy for reasonable wear? |
