I wanted to turn 32 tpi and I could not figure out the gears when I realized it takes one more gear than I can mount with my single arm banjo. Short of buying another banjo on eBay is there a workaround with the tool I have?
 
I believe that I used a smaller gear as the idler gear, 80 tooth in my diagram, and was able to fit all the gears on the single banjo. Of course this is while trying to remember while sat at an airport bar with the pdf on my phone.
Give it a try on a piece of scrap and let us know.

Thanks for the reply. The 80 gear spindle does not clear the idler gear.
