Weather today is too nice to work in the machine shop but while waiting for a dump truck of fill, I decided to machine the plastic and steel gears so as they'd fit together.
Now I just have to join the plastic to the steel gear. I figure 3 or 4 little Allen screws, or if they don't fit, flat head screws.
Trying the new gear in the saw looks like the mesh isn't too good. Prolly the mix of metric to inch style gears.
We'll see how long it lives.
Once it's re-assembled I'll try it out and only then will I look for the proper PINK paint.
