Did you make the one piece gear using the shaper or the lathe? I can't tell by the picture but it looks like it's chucked up in the lathe, unless you have a fixture on your shaper for mounting the chuck.

Hi Ed 


I machined the gear teeth on the shaper , mounting the dividing head needed me to make a table attachment . 

welded up a bit 3/4 plate .






Needs must    , did the job a charm , I now have a different shaper so I need to make another mount for the dividing head  , I tried to sell the Alba shaper , had it up for sale for the 

princely sum of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wait for it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,£45 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and got nothing but grief/idiots  , so I recycled it   . 

turned the box into a cracking box angle plate . 






Kept the brooks motor ,pulleys and lead screws ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and scrapped the rest    and the moral is recycling is much less hassle  

Anyway I have gone    , went to see the bearing man today  , hens teeth , rocking horse ***** and  other sayings were banded about   , lots of cash ,will have to be made and min order of 50 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,loonacy       good job I have a plan ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,50 my arse !
