I am helping a friend with his rf40 (I think) geared head mill. He has 2 stripped gears. One of them he was able to order from MSC years ago.
The other (mating gear) was only available as an assembly for $400.
The gear appears to be a mod2, 46mm pitch diameter, 37mm hub diameter, approx 10mm gear face width.
The other dimensions can be machined to fit, so not very critical. I think the hub internal diameter is 25mm, with a 5mm key.
I can find companies online but they want more to ship the damn gear than the gear costs! Any ideas/thoughts on a good source for gears for the older RF mills?
