Hi
I was given a SB 405-Y by a friend as-is: meaning it only had the gears that are in it. This is my first geared lathe, my other lathe is a Pratt & Whitney 3C, so this is new territory for me.
Is there a list somewhere of all the gears included with the 405 when it was new? I know the DP is different from the later versions of the 9 and 10k lathes, but I'm not sure what else is different. It doesn't seem like anyone's selling a full set on eBay and those things aren't cheap!
Anyone have an idea where I can look? 3D printer-friendly CAD files for the 9 and 10k lathes are easy to find on Thingiverse, but they're all 18DP and not 20. Is it as simple as going into CAD and copying these gears and just changing the pitch?
Thanks
