A little off topic -- but maybe not so much. Thinking while in my shop just this afternoon -- ya know, I don't have a fire extinguisher in here - I do sometimes weld, heat things with a propane torch -- yeah, I should get one in here. What's that saying - better to have one and never need it...

Thanks for looking again, but the arbor I have is 1". I guess its a new one for me !

Well; thanks for that , yes, those would work-- I did search KBC website for Horizontal mill cutters, arbor mount cutters -- "no results" -- never thought to use "convex cutters" in my search terms. I'm not really "stuck on" 1/4" - that just "sounds about right", a bit thicker wouldn't hurt (if...

Specifically looking for 1" center hole X 1/4" thick ~ 3" dia. C/W half round end profile. Yeah, I know "good luck". I have looked at involute gear cutters on Ebay that are somewhat close but anything currently available is a "stub" profile (flat bottom w/ radiused corners). TIA

"I'm really only trying to help @cuslog fix his feed speed issue." Thanks, but no point really -- I sold that lathe 3+ years ago and I owned it 15+ years and having done quite a bit of work on it, I'm pretty confident in the operation of it. That particular machine that I had, I could have power...

Well, I don't think so, one of the gears had 2 sets of teeth, one side 100 teeth, the other 127, it was quite obvious which side had more teeth and IIRC, the 127 side was some kind of a metric conversion gear, the 100 side for TPI threads. I don't think I ever used the 127 side because I don't...

Actually, I didn't lose power feeds, they were just so far off (in speed) as to be essentially useless.

Yes, mine was probably "the cheaper model". First lathe I'd ever owned, didn't know any better when I bought it. Was actually a decent machine but I always mumbled to myself when it came time to single point threads - could do it but it sure interrupted the work flow. Yes, probably a dozen or so...

Not the one I had, the 4 smaller knobs on the bottom just varied power feed speeds. Any threading, I had to take off the end panel and change out 3 gears (using 3 different wrenches), replace the end panel, cut threads then reverse the process to get power feeds back.

Looks identical to the C0636 I bought from Modern tool in Calgary about 2004. Just different color paint and decals. No quick change gearbox - always annoyed me to do any threading.
