Stupid Plastic Back-ordered G0704 Gear!

The gear is metric, module looks to be 1.25, and it is helical with an odd angle. I've searched and searched for a replacement (while I've had two on back order from Grizzly for months). Does someone know: why not replace both gears with a metal non-helical set? What is the real advantage of the helical gear in this application?

Have you ever driven a car with a strait cut gear box? , they sound awsome :) you can generaly hear the difference between helical and strait gears by shifting into reverse on your car gear box.

Not sure if you ever tried King Canada, but... that #209 in the book for my machine is:
#6400202090 Gear $43.95

I actually tried to contact them with 3 different emails and no response at all.

Not sure what the issue is there. :thinking:

Thanks Shawn, but I contacted Grizzly again and must have figured out the secret password because they decided I had a warranty issue and I think they pulled a gear from a new machine to send to me. I haven't gotten it yet, but I got an email saying it was coming via Brown Santa on Monday. I told them to keep my the other two on order because I don't intend to be without again. Hopefully they show up so I don't worry every time I use the machine. I don't have anything to properly cut gears, but it seems like the Benchmaster would be ideal for that sort of thing.
