I think I will be looking for a gear that might work and then I can make the dogs. I was given the power feed with the mill. A DRO is higher on my list of priorities now. As for the mount it looks pretty mickey mouse with all of the weight hanging out there on that casting.
Any Idea where I could source a gear like this? I have an RF30 and an Al99 drive ( I think it came from Busy Bee) with a straight cut pinion. I am having a hard time finding a gear for my x axis feed.
