Logan lathe gear tooth repair

[ieezitin]

I ran my Apron into the Quick Change Gear Box and broke two teeth on the gear change slide bars so it was either buy one or repair, i waited forone to come up on ebay but nothing turned up so i decided to repair it.


its disconnected from the lever handle.




a close up





I need to remove material for a blank tooth to be inserted so i ground a slot tool for the shaper






lined up and ready to go






that should work 





two done now i need to make the blank teeth this is what i am going to make it from






cut on the bandsaw now they need to be filed down to the correct thickness the die-filler with this home made vise works a treat






a little fussing with a hand file







now i am ready





my silver brazing kit, thats all you need for most work






nice fit






gas torch ready






fluxed up and ready to go





all done






back to the die filer






all done and these are the files i used
















all back together and works like a dream.






Thanks for looking

Good goin! The one I have had so many bad spots in it, the two gears would bind at certain places.
