Spiral Bevel Gears
tom osselton:
Just wondering what these would be used in or where they would be repaired I think I'd try someones shop bin.
Joules:
Tom, I have been looking up industrial sewing machines, internal components for motorbikes and small engines. They are used in milling machines, where you have a horizontal or vertical conversion head. Basically what I am trying to do here, I could use straight cut bevel gears but they would be noisy and prone to vibration.
Keep looking and see what junk turns up, I can print gears, just wish 3D printing in metal was as easy.
Might even have to re think my plan as it’s do able in a few ways.
PK:
I'll second angle grinders. you even get a case with an output bearing....

I may have some from a mobility scooters diff , will have a measure tomorow as I am out today .
Joules:
Thanks Jeff, I took a look at mobility transaxle parts. Most of the diffs I saw use straight cut bevel gears, but the searches did pull up India for sprial bevel gear sources. The main drive gear in mobility transaxles are helical gears and look very meaty, will keep that in mind for the future.
Cheers
