I recently purchased a Standard Modern 1334 that I am getting back into order. Its missing a few parts that I have found solutions for, but has a damaged sliding gear. Its the small gear that the tumbler bracket interfaces with. So basically, its needed for operation of the leadscrew for feed, and threading regardless of speed.
I measured it, and the specs are 16t, 14dp, 20 degree thrust angle. A real oddball gear to say the least. That now non-standard (no pun intended) diametral pitch of 14 makes it hard to find any off the shelf solutions.
So, Leblond quoted me first $650, which I questioned, and they looked into it and then quoted me $900 or more with a 4-6 wait. I got another one-off quote and it was even more for one, until I started ordering quantity, when the price goes down significantly.
I looked into making it myself, but have not found a 14dp, 20 TA #2 cutter. I would think there is one out there somewhere, but I am not setup to make one anyway, so it would also be an expensive solution.
Anyway, I am looking for other ideas. If anyone has spare parts or is parting out one, or has another idea, I would be most grateful.
Thanks,
Chris
