Default lathe

Since I bought a lathe, it has been so useful . I've made bolts - bushes - pins shafts and heaps more , even a ACME thread lead screw . And having a small milling machine is great, I made a 24 tooth gear out of cast iron , using a dividing head .

Pics of the broken gear . I machined off the broken gear and made up a new gear blank .
