Aew Viceroy Horizontal Universal Mill - Stellaghost - 11-23-2020

Hi All
 Obviously new to this forum but was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction I have an AEW Viceroy Horizon universal mill, the issue is that the two identical sized cast iron spindal head drive gears are well passed there sell by date and I would like to renew them, but are these still available I am  also exploring making some gears but have never attempted gear cutting before, therefore I'm looking at all avenues any help greatly appreciated regards Stephen

Welcome

Hello Stephen, welcome to the forum! John Mills (doubleboost) has a number of gear cutting videos that you may find helpful.

Another option is to order gear blanks from Boston Gear.  While I've cut multiple spur gears and gear racks it was way cheaper to buy the blanks and bore/drill & ream them rather than buying the gear cutters.  Your local industrial supply house should be able to order the gears or you can also go to Boston Gear online.

You may want to download the Machinery Repairman 3&2 as it has an excellent section on gear cutting and many other manual machining operations.  It was the manual used by Machinery Repairmen (machinists) while I was in the Navy.  Easy to find online using a search engine of your choice or just try this one: https://archive.org/details/machineryrepairm003995mbp
