Thread: DRIVER LINE GEARED MITRE GUAGE...removing gear/spindle.

There are quite a few images on the net showing Walker Turner Driver line mitre gauge.
Here is one that may help:

Vintage Walker Turner "The Driver Line" Geared Self Indexing Miter Gage | #1823213039

Thanks Tom,
I've seen a couple of photos on auction sites. I suppose I could ask a seller. Chances are good that someone on the forum here, or a vintage forum, has fiddled with one. Meantime it needs to earn its keep so I have a bit of plastic jammed under there.

Gregg.

Hi Gregg,
I found this patent that might help you.

Cheers,

If what's been offered so far doesn't help, go here and search, or ask if you don't find answers: Old Woodworking Machines - Old Woodworking Machines

You can also peruse the literature at Vintage Machinery, which is linked from the top right corner on any of the pages there (I tried posting a direct link, but the software doesn't seem to want to let me post two links in one message).

Thanks for the leads chaps..
I notice in the patent drawing that the mitre gear and sleeve are integral (15). In my one the gear is aluminum and the sleeve looks steel. I'm assuming that my sleeve will have a pressed fit into the gear below and the gear knob (16) above. I was looking for some kind of pin or key like (17) but I didn't see it yet. Pin or no I may have to try just tapping the sleeve out...

I was surprised that my mitre gear was aluminum, I thought it would be brass, general knowledge, so I thought, having it that aluminum and brass wear well together

Edit:...To help minimize any confusion I'm gonna edit the text body below...I misread the drawing and don't want to hand off that misperception.

The mystery was solved. First, refering to that patent dwg... Given that mine has a separate steel sleeve rather than integral sleeve/gear, my guess is that mine was a later version or that the dwg doesn't show the item as produced.

I tapped the sleeve/gear assy out of the gear knob. It was immediately clear that it had been held in with a little rust, and it's designed to be a sweet sliding fit (apologies to the machinists). The other fact suddenly obvious was that the assy stack order was incorrect. Photo below shows that. The spacer washer was sitting between the detent groove and its nipple. It should have been sitting just under the gear knob (16)..Happy days, I had feared that the detent system was worn or missing...

Again, the photo below shows the spacer washer in the wrong place...it should be sitting just under the gear knob.
When the assy is in serviceable condition it comes apart easily once the lock knob (19) is removed, and I think someone had assembled the parts wrong. Or maybe got sick of bumping into the detents

Yet to try to zero the protractor.
For the saw stops I think I may enlarge the holes to take 10mm rod and just improvise something.
Thanks again for the help.
