Nice. One suggestion if i can... So, you can mount both gears, one of top on another, just you must made some holder and some kind of stopper ( e. g. Metal ball, spring and two holes) for limiting movement of body, up an down.
At 8:40 I was waiting for that oh so familiar High speed "Clackity clack" of chuck jaws on tool holder.......... I'm still not sure why I didn't hear it? Looked more than close enough :D
Just had a similar drama with my TOR D360 (spanish metric ).... it did not have a engagement counter... I modified a standard counter and just changed cog that engaged the 30mm leadscrew.. My problem was with the data i had for the diving head..a 40-1 , 17 tooth , mod 2 , incorrect info on dividing plate..( circle 17.... 2 rotation, 6 hole..... stated book , and many calculator apps ) sure took me some time to get my head round it... In actual fact was circle 34... 2 rotation and 12 hole..... How can there be such a different outcome with shite data....lol... Done now... Happy turning !😂
Clever work there! It shows how the metric system with it's arbitrary, out of scale sizes causes problems where none should be.
Nice project and a clever way to store the spare gear while it is not being used.
Hi Alan,
A very interesting project and i am sure it will be a useful addition to your lathe.
Take care
Paul,,
Nice job Alan,
Great job! Excellent research! Super helpful!
Worked out well Allan.

i made something very similar but made a worm drive style gear and used inline skate bearings instead of a bush

Geat. Another item on my to do list :) Stefan.
Fantastic, will be useful for my Myford :)
Great job
Thanks for sharing!
Muy bueno excelente, 👍
Interesting project but I’d rather have seen the gears made on a lathe and mill instead of 3D printed.
That's a lot more work!
