| New Old Shaper - Atlas 7b |
| << < (7/9) > >> |
| RGS:
The gear that is broken is a 20T change gear used on the Atlas 10 & 12 inch lathes. The part # is 9-101-20. They changed the gears on the lathes at some point and the newer gear is a 9-101-20A. The only difference is the face is narrower on the A model gear to help reduce noise in the lathes. I don't think that will matter in use on the shaper. |

Also here is another source for the broken gear. http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Gear-Change-Degree-Pressure/dp/B004N62SDE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1445554380&sr=8-3&keywords=boston+gear+gb20 |

The powerfeed on my Atlas , doesn't work. The gear on the feedscrew just turns back n forth, with no visible way to secure it to the screw.Shaper works fine, n I enjoy using it. My solution when I get around to it is to make a feed mechanism according to Gingery's design,,n just file a flat on feedscrew for a set screw.If this isnt a good idea, sombody stop me before I mess up,please. |

Somewhere I saw that the keyed bushing has a pin through it. I do not see the pin in the manual. |
