Can any one point me to a supplier who has small Miter gears at a reasonable price ? I'm in the beginning stages of Pattern making for a small steam governor which uses Miter gears.
After scaling the full size steam governor It seems I need a Pitch Diameter of .875 but Boston shows only .750 and 1.000 inch PD. Gear needs to be unhardened steel. Diametrical Pitch I can work with but the finer the better. Bore diameter I can work with.
Any reasonably priced gear supplier's out there who won't charge an arm and leg for a dozen of these ?
I can work with Boston part # L99Y which is a bit small but doable. Gears are not my specialty ! I am showing my ignorance for sure
