Jason @ MacTalis Ironworks Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I ripped apart my Buffalo 3 gear, and have reassembled, but found, much to my dismay that I had failed to note that the center gears bushings are drilled off-center. I can see how this would allow the gear to tilt for coarse alignment, and the lateral screws on the gear shaft would allow for fine adjustment, but does anyone know how to go about figuring where the bushings should be initially aligned? I really hate to think that it was a "tinker around until it works" kind of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Well, I can't help on this particular model but can tell you what I've done on initial setup for lathe gears, which is to use a piece of copier paper to set mesh clearance between gears. A picture of what you have might go a long ways to obtaining helpful suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
