Meuser Lathe Wooden Gear?
If you can, machine it with coolant, it cuts down the dust, smell and improves tool life, ............ though be aware, some applications of Tufnol, preclude the use of coolant -

Meuser Lathe Wooden Gear?
I''m pretty sure it's not wood, or if it is, it SHOULD be resin bonded cloth known as ''Tufnol'' in the UK, ........ of which there are several varieties, and when making gears one must use the correct variety with the gears being cut from plate, rather than turned from bar or rod. -

Need Source for a piloted 7/16" Drill Bit

ID A vise screw, and help making an Acme Nut
I'd definitely cut a new male thread as well, the rust etc on that screw willchew a nut up in no time. To save time hassle and $$, I'd look at buying ''off the shelf compnents'' and grafting them to the application, before I machined anything. -
