Gear, 80 Teeth, Mini Lathe, Metal

Installed this 80-tooth gear on my mini lathe yesterday and the steel construction feels really sturdy during threading operations. The teeth mesh perfectly with the lead screw, making precise cuts much easier than with the old gear I had.

Finally got my mini lathe threading setup working properly. This steel gear is machined cleanly with no burrs, and the 80 teeth engage without any wobble.

I was a bit skeptical about an 80-tooth gear for my mini lathe, but the precision engagement on the threading operation is noticeably smoother than my old drive gear. The steel construction feels solid and durable, and it mounted without any fuss.
