    Tool Wells Setting kneemill x Axis powerfeed ...for parts?

    If you want yourself a project, go for it. Would suggest you take a close look on how these are designed because they are 1) many teeth 2) odd numbered/non-evenally divisible 3) the teeth are slanted, not perpendicular.

    Tool Wells Setting kneemill x Axis powerfeed ...for parts?

    I have this Wells Setting X-axis powerfeed and works..except the nylon gear in the bottom was stripped previously and cant seem to find a replacement - none of the 5 current clones even come close to fitting. I used it for quite a while just as a general 'travel' mechanism but indeed with the...

    Machine PDM30 table nut stripped

    Good idea; I'd like to explore tapping the OEM table nut out to 1-10 acme and see how much material is left (without spending $200+ for the tap). Table nut has a flange on it so I don't think this could be turned in a lathe...is there another way to get that thread bored out from .925 to 1"...
