I sell machine gears from a web store that I own and operate. It is called The Hobbyist Machine Store. The gears that I sell are for two very popular machine tools called a mini-lathe and a mini-mill. There have been tens of thousands of these machine sold all over the world. The one major flaw they have are some plastic gears in the drive train.
I supply replacement steal gears for the plastic ones. The plastic usually get broke when users push the machine harder than they should. The machine are designed for a price point so to hit that point plastic gears are used.
I have been selling the gears for several years but ran out of stock early this year. I just got the new order in from the supplier today. Nearly 100 pounds of steel gears. Ouch, my back – but they were packaged in two boxes and I have a hand cart. Pity the UPS guy.
Anyway I am back in business with a full shelf of inventory and I am all geared up!
very off topic but,…
whens the last time you used the “HB1” that is pictured in that picture of all those gears above?
or better yet,…how bout the dunk-n-score?? 🙂 🙂
Well Ace you must study all the details. You even recognized the HB1. 🙂 BTW the green things are the sequence controllers I built for the outdoor Christmas lights. That shelf is the background in many of my shop pictures… Sold two sets of gears in the first 12 hours. Shhh, the HB1 is sleeping.
