    Default Gear cutters anyone?

    I went into Machinery Warehouse in Wingfield today and saw they had some gear cutters up for sale. As Chains and Accessories have been sold (sales to Royce Cross, power transmission to Hercus) I'm guessing they may have come out of the C&A workshop as there are multiples and in those multi-part cardboard boxes (looks like tool store storage to me).
    The range is from around 3DP upwards to around 20DP (although there are some smaller) and seem to be in the smaller tooth end of the range (that is, the no's 4s through to 8's - there are some lower numbers but not as easy to find)
    I bought a few 14DP, a 20DP and a 32DP. If anyone is looking for cutters it may be worth a look. Pricing is hard to say as I'm known and get regular's discount but if you wanted multiples I'd be budgeting around $30 per cutter.
    For those interstate with a 5DP 100t gear to cut - I may be able to head that way later in the week...

    Further info - these cutters are 14 1/2 degree pressure angle BTW

    Hmmm - have to see which ones I'm missing in 12DP, 14DP & 16DP which are my most common sizes.

    I have a couple spare rack cutters to trade if I can find them and anyone is interested. 10DP and 9DP I think....
