Making change gears for the Hafco AL-960B Lathe. This machine doesn't come with the required gears to cut a 1.75 mm or a 3.5 mm thread. This change gear allows these to be cut.
Gears for sale! Etsy store listing etsy.com/au/listing/1829811102
I made a 28 tooth gear, however 35 tooth gears also work with a different arrangement.
This build is much less insane than the time I made a whole quick change gearbox...
