So I have an issue where there is a shaft that it timed depending on the location of the keys. The top shaft's key must be pointing up relative to the top of the machine. The key on the side shaft for the transfer cam must be pointing out away from the machine.
The issue I'm having is the bevel gears that were purchased for the rebuild have the keys broached in the same location on both gears (in the middle of the teeth). So the keys for the top shaft and the side shaft are off half the the center distance between teeth.
I use to have a formula in my tool box that used radians and degrees that I could use to position the shaft in the Bridgeport and find the proper location. Maybe I could get some help either finding a formula or a technique to get the keys to there respective timing.
