I need to remove the pinion gear from my Z-Axis, but I can't get it off! Where can I get a pinion gear puller?
Also has anyone drilled and tapped gear rack with success. I wanted to use set screws and loctite to mount my gear rack to the 2" square tubing for my rails (Plasmabot 4.0 kit). I am using the double sided tape suggested in the kit. I was going to use the tape along with set screws to be sure nothing would happen. I have little space and need to wheel my table outside for cutting sometimes. I tried drilling the holes and that worked out, but tapping the holes was a nightmare, and I broke three taps before I gave up.
