Hand Cut Gear Quadrant

[starlight_tools]

This Mitre saw came in for repair, and the Quadrant gear that raises the guard during a cut had snapped.  The part is no longer avialable from the supplier.  It was made of pot metal and refused to even attempt to Weld, so I took a piece of aluminium plate from an old circ saw base and made a new one.  Cut to size on band saw and scroll saw, then hand filed the gear teeth.
