I am pretty unfamiliar with gear specs and sizing. I have run into this problem with a newly acquired milling machine in the quill feed gearbox. Unfortunately someone took a grinder to this gear for the manual fine quill feed and removed all the teeth. I would like to restore the function if possible, however there is no manual or parts available for this machine. Therefore I'm in the predicament of needing to identify what the appropriate gear is and try to replace it. I am also uncertain of whether it would be a helical or spur gear. Would it be possible to measure the worm somehow to determine what the correct choice is? I also posted this in the gear hobbing/machining forum to get some more eyes on it ![IMG_20240707_224500.jpg IMG_20240707_224500.jpg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/453/453537-1be9a3f9d8c867d113777a7d5dd691e0.jpg)
