My Atlas compound gear went out and I was not going to pay $80 for a used one so it sounded like a good project. I made a quick setup with the rotary table I modified and started in.

Since Grizzly does not have any instructions for this rotary table a good fella here on the forum helped me by making me a spread sheet for the gear tooth spacing. Here I am cutting the small gear first out of steel I also made the mandrel to hold the cutter since the grizzly one was only 5/8 and the cutter hole was 7/8. I also made the tail stock.

Here is the finished gear not bad for my first one on this little mill.

Now I made a mandrel to hold the gear blank I made from stress proof steel. I have started to cut the large gear now.

Here it is for the first cut I did not take a full depth cut I made three cuts all together.

Here is the finished gear the small one is pressed into the large one all ready for use in my Atlas 10" lathe.
