And maybe a good example of why machinery gears should not be made of zinc

If you call them "zamac" like atlas did then they sound better and not such a bad idea....at least in marketing brochures.

$300 with no broken gears for that model of lathe is more than I'd ever spend on that. The mini 7x14 lathes are far superior to those in my opinion.
