Module Gear Cutter Arbor

[Paul Jones]

Doug,
Creative use of a chainsaw sprocket gear. I like seeing another way to index for 17 steps when we don't have the correct index plate to do this. The indexing technique has many uses in general. Based on what I have read, I think a lot of the import geared-head lathes come with 17 tooth bronze power feed gears and here is a way for replacing highly worn or damaged gears.
Thank you for the photos and description.
