ok so i posted in the break room about my broken mill gear the one that is supposed to shatter did not.
so i started making a belt drive for this mill a while back but never finished it. so now i had to finish it hear is my progress.
the pics are not that good so dont hammer me to bad ok i used the bad camera (it wont happen again i promise ;D)
the broken gear-----
the inside
more of the inside
all torn apart
the inside all cleaned out
my belt drive
this part made of steal
cork to plug the hole left from removing the shaft and bearings
need to flip this around did not fit hummmmm
had to drill and tap the small pully
and haer we are all done
IT WORKS yyeeeeeee i was suprized it worked good. but it does take some power ive noticed away from the mill.
im thinking a chain drive next. but it is quiet. i had one little problem with the belt riding to one side of the big pully kinda twisted a bit not much but enough to bug me i think i need to recut that one a bit in order to get the belt to sit down in there better. well what do ya think . i think not bad from a nuckle head that is totally new to this hobby. i love it ok im done for now Thm: woohoo1
