Spiral Bevel Gears

(1/6) > >>

Joules:
Anyone come across some cheap/scrap equipment that might be fitted with these type gears.  I need a 12mm bore through them, it doesn’t matter if the bore is smaller as long as they have enough meat to be machined to that size.  To buy gears on their own is horrendous, but these days mass produced items sometimes have hidden gems inside them.  The final use is to drive an ER-11 collet spindle, so not huge torque, however metal gears prefered.  I will be testing my idea with printed gears first, but only for running the spindle...  NOT cutting.

      Cheers

Loads on eBay as spares for Angle Grinders - just pop in the search 'spiral bevel gears'

Here is just one example

Thanks Andrew, I should have said 1:1 or 1:1.5  I have a varied collection of angle grinder gears that got used in model heli gearboxes.  I will give ebay a go.

I think Rich would need more than a feel for a set of their gears  :(  and they are only down the road some, from here.
