A word of advice if you have never worked with gear trains before allow a little play between the gears. A couple of thousandths is plenty. A piece of aluminum foil cut in narrow strips place between two gears will help with setup. Any size gear or gears can be used as ilders between the two speed/feed gears. I had to learn gear trains in high school machine shop back in the late 60's. Good luck with your new lathe, my she serve you for many years.
