about £10, from TMTT, had a couple of lathes and me mill off him.
i did think i'd broke it properly, the handwheel just locked solid as the busted teeth wedged in the gear :lol: :lol:
i wasn't laughing at the time :( :(
Jonny:
I have had motors pack up 1/4 in to a job, switches, power feeds, vices, ACME threads strip and you cannot remove the precision job until finished.
jim:
postie brought the new gear this morning :ddb:
excellent example of customer service, broke lathe yesterday and fixed this morning :D
TMTT :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
