I have this gear which is of no use to me. Seems a shame for it to live in my scrap bin for the next 10 years if it is of any use to anyone.

No idea what it's for. But I do know it's not for my Boxford as I thought it may have been.

Anybody wants it PM me your address and I will pop it in the post.

But please only PM me if it IS of use. Not just because you can and then put it on ebay. That way it will go to somebody who has a need for it.

Nick

It's one of the Colchester metric translation gears, more than likely off a Student.

No use to me but thanks for the general offer.

Its from a Colchester and is the gear required for cutting DP worms, I have been looking for one for ages as it was missing when I bought my colchester, all the other gears are just reversed in position to achieve high /low feed,the 56 tooth gear is loose and always gets lost, I would be most grateful if I could have it, my phone is 01962 772203 or email [email protected].
