That's a bugger!Not much use rebushing the idler gear, it's well worn (no teeth left)
Hardinge gears use an obscure DP (18?) and pressure angle. Feeler may not have copied it exactly. It'd be a good idea to double check them before you buy an expensive Hardinge part
[edit] It's well worth stripping down the carriage.There are oil ways and pipe in the rear of the HLV that should be checked while you're there.
oil distro
BTW later HLV-Hs (not mine :() had a PTFE/teflon coating on the underside of the carriage. Careful, if your Feeler has the same, it is apparently fairly soft and easily damaged.
[edit]
Phew - Just realised you were talking about the EM dial idler gear not the carriage drive gear!Last edited by BillTodd; 10-08-2009 at 11:19 PM. Reason: penny drops
