Someone had reached out to me and made me aware that I have committed a rookie message boards mistake by not mentioning that I had posted the same question to another group. Thinking about it if someone in the future has the same issue in the future they would benifit of having the responses of both sets of? groups. I will just post a link to the other thread here /g/Atlas618lathe/topic/atlas_mk2_broken_gear/105915305
