Go to Post So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

Re: Need for Aluminum Gears and Sprockets?

I would definitely be interested as long as prices are reasonable. If he can keep prices anywhere near andymark prices then it would be a definite hit.

It would be great if he could make aluminum versions of the andymark shifter gears to cut down weight. Also if he could make a kit of 2 gears to increase the reduction in the andymark shifter without adding an extra stage of reduction. Something like a 60 tooth output gear with the dog pattern and a 52 tooth input gear on the first stage. Those numbers were just a guess but An upgrade for the andymark shifters for more reduction would be awesome.

I also think focusing more on hubbed sprockets would be better since flat sprockets already exist from andymark and they work well as is. A high quality hubbed, hex-keyed sprocket however would be perfect and we would definitely buy them.
