Just "window" shopping a moment ago and came across this – very good value (I thought). I was quite taken by the variable approach angle of the pinion. I could almost contemplate designing a model / tooling item around this.
Thats what I did for my Tidman engine, went looking on e-bay and found a set of 2:1 Mod 1.5 bevels delivered for £6, hardened too. Not worth buying the metal let alone the cutters for a one off
Building my own shaper I bin trying to find a method for raising the table,I had thought of using a set of mitre gears so it could be raised remotely as space is limited to get my digits in, this looks like a possible solution and as I never throw anything away I have some duff angle grinders which should give me the bits I need
