I was about to post asking for a refresher on the calcs to cut a gear with
my rotary table . Then I saw a box you hadda be there , we're moving our
stuff to the new digs as I build the house ...and since my son and his
family are living in the downstairs , everything of mine is crammed into a
12 X 15 room , along with my bed of stuff from the place where I last had
my workshop practice series # 17 ... and the 2nd thing I touched in the box
was the book I need !
Logan lathes have one weak spot in the QC gear box . It's the
16t/20dp/14.5 pa half of the 2:1 reduction on the left side . Since I'm down
to my last one , I figgered I need to repair/rebuild some of the busted ones
Thank your diety of choice there were extras with the lathe , these puppies
are like 160 bucks each before I end up needing one . My plan is to make a
length of gear and machine it to length/etc as needed . Since I haven't
found the proper gear cutter at a price I can bear , I'll be grinding a
single-point cutter and making a holder for it .
