[SEL] Sorta O/T..gear making

[Richard Strobel]

Pip..here's the websites J.B suggested;

http://www.rushgears.com/index2.asp?source=1     Read the FAQ's..and looks 
like a good menu.

and the other one;

http://bostongear.com/index.asp   Shows combination gear ie  "Speed 
changers."

Rushgear doesn't stock and they use reverse engineering  ie Send them your 
broken gear(s) and in two weeks you'll have a new one.  Sounds promising.

  Boston gear advertises the straight rack gear and probably has the 
matching round driver meshing gear so it looks like I might be able to 
replace all the manual carriage traverse mechanism if I so desire or have 
to.  SWAGGING that this assembly is not what I'd call super close tolerance 
as it just moves the carriage manually back and forth...nothing to do with 
threading.those gear are fine...halfnut questionable.

Headed back to those websites...THANKS J.B.!!!!!!!

Rick
PS: Rush gear gives an estimate after they receive your gears.
