Note it's secured with planer jacks and screws to a T-slotted base. This monster might have been driven from below! Sensible, open the gap, crane in a blank, close the gap and set to whittle away.
Unsure about the motor endbell visible to the left, certainly connected to shaft holding the gear.
That motor shaft passes behind the gear...
I agree.I always thought they made those in 2 parts. perhaps they are 2 peices.
One piece, the slot in the middle is for run-out of the tools.
Ive seen them in 2 peices ,I presumed for setting back lash when needed to do so.
