Re: Need info on gears inside drill transmission.
I remembered that the powerpoint on disassembling that thing (on the first spec sheet page) shows the gears so I was able to count the teeth. It doesn't look like any of them will work for what I had in mind. But I'm still glad I found out how many teeth they have. Maybe I'll get a new idea.

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a gear with a certain bore, weld the bore closed with filler, and then drill a new bore that is smaller? Would this work? Or instead of welding, what about pressing in a pin and then re-drilling it out?
