Re: Screw and Idle gears
3D-printed gears should work just fine. As long as you don't drop or crash the machine. There is a groups.io group for that purpose (among other) that I happen to own.

Re: Screw and Idle gears
I bought these Metric Transposing Gears for my 9A, which I believe to be some form of nylon. They work GREAT.

Re: Screw and Idle gears
I would like to thank you all for your help. I tried to fine the gears on Ebay with no luck finding a match for the ones that were on the lathe. The idle gear has a 6 to 1 ratio with the large one

I know there are many that want to keep their lathes as close to OEM design as possible.? For them, if it came with change gears, keep the change gears. However since I see that you might consider

You should have probably mentioned that he needs to know the DP of the gears he wants to make so he knows how big a printer he needs to buy. My Atlas TH42 uses 16DP gears. The 127-tooth gear for

Re: Screw and Idle gears
To answer the first question: I don't believe that the lathe is a junior. The second question is that dp is 18. I have already model the gears in cad and have ,stl files for making them. My experience

Re: Screw and Idle gears
The gear tooth counts you say you're looking for--116 and 108--strike me as odd. My 9C has the full set of change gears, and the highest tooth count is 80.
Do you have the gear cover with its graphics

Re: Screw and Idle gears
The Atomic ELS is, IIRC, a Russian invention. Most of the info is on a site in Russia, I think. I'm a member of the IO group, but never made it to the Russian source. I'm not nearly ready to go there

Re: Screw and Idle gears
I am using an 80/63 combination which is basically the same as 127/100 for transposing.

Steady rest for a heavy 10
Anybody know of or have a possible resource for one of these? Obviously bought used. It has the taper attachment but not the steady rest. Kinda need one of them to do any barrel profiling!
