Hi Im looking for any information about the old type feed gears on the Deckel FP1, all I know that one set is 73 teeth and 27 teeth and that all the sets add up to 100 teeth. So any help would be appreciated.

If you do not have any joy here, head on over to Practical Machinist forum as they have a Deckel sub-forum with a lot of very knowledgeable people. I believe Franz Singer in Germany is a (commercial) source for these machines.

Do you have any gears at all? Anything shown in the online literature on the machine? If so, you could probably deduce the sizes of the missing ones from the relative feed ratios.

Post number 8 here:

https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/deckel-maho-aciera-abene-mills/alexander-toolmaster-deckel-fp1-clone-355790/

gives the sizes for an Alexander, which is a Deckel clone and you are correct about the teeth total of 100.

Put 'fp1 feed gears site:www.practicalmachinist.com' (without the quotes) into Google and you might hit paydirt.

I have a hazy memory that there was someone on homeworkshop.org.uk this year cutting Deckel feed gear sets. The advert is gone but an 'information wanted' advert there might produce results.

There certainly was a chap making batches of new gears for the Alexander Master Toolmaker which is basically a Deckel FP1, over on the "Home Workshop" website not too long ago.

So I would think a wanted advert on there would yield results.

If you have no luck, I can measure my set for you. They have a three tooth drive dog on one side.

Are you trying to determine the pitch and pressure angle of your existing gears?

Hi Rick, yes I was, I didn't have the gears when I asked for help but I have them now and it looks like I wont need them anymore the friend I was helping out is looking to add a variable drive now, as hes got the motor and etc and to be honest I was struggling a bit Ive only made about 6 gears in the last 60+ years 2 nylon ones for my lathe and 4 small 40:1 worm gear sets for dividing heads. So thanks for your offer help. Regards Paul
