Hi all i have recently purchased second hand a aew vertical mill with a powerfeed table. I didnt get any other gears with it it has one gear already in situ which is pretty slow.any ideas on getting hold of any of the others?

Make them or try HPC gears.

Thanks

One think that puzzles me is that theres obviouly different number of teeth as the table says on the top, but you cant move the driven gear spindle to fit a gear with more teeth which has a bigger radius to fit more teeth on.or am i wrong?

I am not familiar with the machine, but would the gears be changed as a pair so the centre distance does not change.

If you read up on gears you should be able to take some measurements to determine the spec of the gear and as mentioned above source from a gear supplier. It is quite possible that some readily available lathe change gears might be suitable or adaptable.

You might just swap over the two gears to get two different speeds: dog slow and Harold Hare.
