Threading Gears


 

Anyone know where is the best place to purchase change gears for a
V10P would be? Or is it better to buy commercial gears and make them
fit?

Try Blue Ridge. They might have them. But I would recommend
that you call them several times to get them to check.

Otherwise watch and wait on ebay. I have a full set for
my V10P.

Thanks Almus, I spoke with Blueridge on some other parts mostly
handles & division collars (measurement - not sure of the correct
term)... Not inexpensive. I thought there might be another
source. Eric

There is a video that shows how to make gears with a hobb. I forgot
the name of the guy who does it. I have a copy of the thing.
Not very professional in regards to the editting, but the
overall content and information is excellent. The video/dvd
is available from Littlemachineshop....Myabe the guy's
name is Jose Rodriguez ?? You need a mill + HV rotary table
and it shows you how to make the calculations, and then
make a hobb then make the gears. I have watched the video
and nothing portrayed is too complicated. I have not
made any gears yet...If I had to do it I could but
I try to avoid mission creep; Where you start out needing
a widget, then before you know it you are making a tool to
make a tool to make a tool so you can make the widget.

On the other hand I have heard that Boston gear has a tremendous
selection of gears and you can get something and then modify it.
It has been a while since I have looked at the Boston gear
catalog.

Blue Ridge is crazy expensive for some stuff...for the prices
they charge you can practically find someone to make stuff custom
for you.

Glad I am not the only one that thinks Blueridge is expensive. I
thought of buying standard gears and machining the bore. Eric
