        What DP are the Granville gears? You might be able to use gears off a more common lathe that used the same DP. Eg Myford 20 DP. Drummond 14 DP.  And I forget Boxford’s.

          Granville are 20 DP according to Tony
          https://www.lathes.co.uk/granville/index.html

          So worth checking how close Myford centre hole and keyway are. You should be able to adapt.

          For the record, Boxford are 18DP.

            Bazyle beat me to it!  If you get completely stuck, pm me the details and I can print out a couple in either PLA – carbon fibre or glass fibre reinforced filament, with your choice of pressure angle, or both.

              A look at HPC website HPCgears.com technical section will help you to identify what gear form you have. At this stage I would not worry about pressure angle or material, you will not be putting a lot of power through a change gear in a home workshop. You may find HPC have a suitable part as well.

                The Myford gears have a 5/8″ bore with a 1/8″ keyway. Should be adaptable. Plenty on that auction site, but they are not giving them away of course.

                  It could be sensible to find out the required tooth count before running around all the cheese shops only to find they just sold the last one yesterday.

                    Yes, let us know what dimensions you have – if something common can be made to fit you never know what people might have lying round under the bench.

                    ..plus you might well find a couple of years down the line that it becomes desirable to have other/different tooth counts..

                    EDIT – just noticed you have placed an ad, in that case definitely post some more details, ‘cos you’ll be more likely to a receive a better response if you can describe what you need in terms of describing the gear, rather than the (rather niche) lathe brand, maybe?
