I would quibble with the goal of producing a "stack of dimes" - TIG or gas welding is more likely to produce this look as part of the normal process, but for MIG and stick, a normal weld will not particularly look this way. Sometimes people will make the stack-of-dimes a priority, and in the...- awake

With regard to learning to weld, I would disagree that one *must* take a class. I did take one "continuing education" class at the local community college, 25 or more years ago, and it helped tremendously with my then-just-beginning stick welding. We did get a chance for one to try TIG and gas...- awake

Repairing my shaper, an ongoing saga.
10" - well now I'm jealous! Many years ago, I was at an auction where I was hoping to buy a 12" shaper. No one was interested, the auctioneer wasn't even sure what it was, so I was very hopeful ... but just before bidding began, I heard someone say "I bet my friend would like that" - he called... -
Repairing my shaper, an ongoing saga.
FWIW, the original motor on my 7" shaper was rated at 1/2 hp. It was 3-phase, which I didn't have at the time, so I swapped it out for a single-phase half-horse motor. For the speeds and feeds I use, that seems to be sufficient. -

Thanks for the additional information. Unfortunately, I do not have 48DP gear cutters. The last time I checked, they were on the pricey side. By contrast, .5 module cutters were not too expensive - that would be a little smaller than the 48DP, so would require some re-design if you went that...- awake

Can you give the specific size of the gears, either in module (metric) or DP (imperial)? Without that information, it is hard to know if we have the tooling to produce the gears. :)- awake
