I GOT THE 10" WHEEL ON E-BAY FOR 20 BUCKS . THE SWING ON MY LATHE IS 11" .
IT HAD A SQUARE TAPERED HOLE THAT I BORED OUT TO 1.250"
I USED THE PRESS TO MAKE PARTS FOR ITSELF HERE IT IS BROACHING THE FIRST OF 2 KEY SLOTS .
THE CUTTER FOR THE GEAR TOOTH IS A SINGLE FLUTE DEAL THAT I GROUND BY HAND FROM AN OLD 3/8" ENDMILL .
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT , JUST CLEARANCE TO THE LAST TOOTH .
BY THE WAY , THE PITCH OF THE RACK IS 11mm .
HERE IS THE GEARSHAFT AFTER IT WAS TURNED DOWN AND THE SPACER & 3/16" KEYS IN PLACE .
THE M8 HOLE IN THE CENTER IS FOR THE BOLT THAT KEEPS THE NEW HANDWHEEL
IN PLACE . I USED THE BRASS BECAUSE IT's NICE MATERIAL & I HAVE PLENTY OF IT .
I MADE THE KEYS FROM 1/4" HEX STOCK OF ALL THINGS .
