Steve,

As is usual with these import lathes, the hole in the gear is not through the center. It's drilled at an angle so I'm probably going to rotate it 90 degrees and drill a new hole with it attached to the new lead screw to assure alignment. Hmmm, that means I should add a note to the drawing so Ken doesn't drill it when he makes the part.
