Does anyone know where I can source a Myford 34t change gear?

Hi Brian,

I've extolled the virtue of the 33 and 34 tooth gears on this forum many times. My use of the word "cheat" (note the inverted commas) was to emphasise Myford's possible reluctance to provide them - neither are currently available.

Cheers,

Rod

If you have a 3D printer you could download the file for a Myford 34 tooth gear from Thingverse here. I printed a gear for my Atlas about a year ago just to see if it would work. I've been using it ever since in the fine feed set-up as it reduces the noise.

I'm going to hob a few pairs of these gears since they are not currently available and I want to raise some funds to get a DRO for one of my machines.

RDG sell Myford spares

Have you searched for vendors of "stock" gears. As long as the diametral pirtch and and pressure angle are correct you can modify the bore to suit your needs.

See posts #3 and #5

As David rightly put it's difficult to get off-the-shelf gears at 14.5PA

These have been out of stock at the usual outlets so I've made 7 pairs and been given leave to list them in the classified section this one time due to the lack of availability. They are steel gears with hobbed teeth and broached keyway.

I don't think it matters who makes them, marypoppinsbag sold them on ebay and myford tried to get them banned but as it only stated they was Myford compatible no one owns the right to make them or sell them. When Lesley died JS sold them to RDG as well as the few direct customers. You are welcome to list the on HWS.

Thank you Adam, for that consideration. If remember John saying that they tried to get Lesley's advert pulled.

It wasn't my intention to get into wholesale, more to fill a need but if they continue to remain unavailable I may advertise some in the future. More than half of the above sets are already claimed.

The 48 tooth gear is part of the set of gears you need to cut inch threads on a metric 254 lathe. It was available to purchase as an option with metric 254s when they were being made back in the day......

Thanks Bill.

I made 7 pairs since it was as easy to hob 7 as a single one once the machine's set up. They did go quickly so I've now removed the advert.
