Need to make my own lathe gear
As title my lathe screw feed has a badly worn gear that is no longer available so will have to make my own, not a straightforward job I might add, but when pushed into a corner one has to respond, plus I have very little time to spare at this time but I need my lathe so has to be done, not formulated exactly how I am going to do this yet, tomorrow I will post a pic of the said gear and a rough idea as to how I will go about it, Rick

Hi Rick, don’t know if it’s of any use but an ex member from here that still remembers you has a engineering company in Leeds. He takes on small jobs like that.
If you’re interested drop me a PM and I’ll let you have his details. Mind you knowing you Rick, you are so resourceful this probably won’t pose a real problem for you mate. |

Another pic, the plan is to cut the bad gear off and machine a dog clutch into the land before the large gear, then using the the bad gear as a template cut new teeth onto a bit of stock steel, then bore it out to take a bush for the shaft, then machine a mating dog clutch to the large gear, once assembled onto the shaft the dog will make them effectively locked together, Rick

And fitted to the lathe and all good, I agree the brass is a lot softer than the steel it replaced, but it is more than 60 years old, if my one lasts a few years it will do me, I will go to bed tonight a very happy bunny, Rick
