I rang Bracehand (Smart&Brown ....really helpful knowledgable chap...

No he didn't have one , but they did " make a replacement gear for a customer in 2007 and it cost 150 quid,.surprise "So you won't be buying one from us ! " says he .

" No " said I.

However he gave me all the dimensions of the said gear from his archive ..laugh I frantically wrote them down , ( to the nearest 1/4" cheeky  as he was busy , and i didn't want to hold him up.

Ten minutes later , the helpful guy rings me back ,

"Hey, I've got another gear for another S&B 1024 ? that'll do your lathe ...18 tooth ,6 tpi ,4 degree helix though ... ( which is only 1 deg out ) ,bores the same , keyway a bit bigger..nothing insurmountable though 20 quid. "

Not really worth cutting teeth on the embryo gear i made yesterday is it ?
