--- Quote from: awemawson on May 09, 2014, 09:19:55 AM ---Bad luck I have no experience of this machine but the questions occur to me - why two broken gears in such a short time? What material are they made from? Are you perhaps overloading the machine? I'd imagine it's probably a standard imperial or metric size, though the bore may be a special. There are specialty gear suppliers 'out there' who can supply over night if needed. I use HPC, but google will find others http://www.hpcgears.com/ --- End quote --- When I busted the plastic gears in my mill, HPC were brilliant in helping me sort them out. I've no relationship to HPC, just a happy customer. |

I have used HPC a few weeks ago for two gears for the webster IC engine, they were very good but a little expensive. I picked two catalogues on CD, if anyone would like one just get in touch! I was using a carbide endmill when it wend bang, plastic gears, the belt conversion seems the best way to go! Peter |

Hi I have an X2 Mill Drill with a belt drive conversion. Much better machine now quiet and more versatile than the gear drive. Posted on "Mad Modder" a couple of years back Polyvee belt and fabricated my own pulleys. http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,6706.msg71709.html#msg71709 Keep us posted Eric |
