I have stripped the lathe apart for a deep clean and that is when I found it. Apart from replacing due to cost I would welcome ideas on how to fix this. There are two gears which I believe are pressed together and if I could get them apart I could perhaps drill where the missing tooth is tap the holes and fit studs then file to shape. Thank you all in advance. I tried to post a message earlier but I think that it failed.
to the forum bodger!Can you post a picture of the damaged gear?
