good use for old 33 axle
I needed a right angled drive for my mill to make up a line bore setup to do the Model A blocks for inserts ,V8 mains and other stuff.
The commercially available right angled drive was nearly $1000,
So I thought for a bit and drew up one using an old 33 axle and spider gear to get the right angle gears
Made up the shafts today and they turned out nice,will do the housing this week.
The steel in the old axle is the nicest stuff to use.
the cost of my right angle drive will be under $100,mostly the bearings and seal.
