5mm 12 tooth gear mod to 4mm gear

Look forward to seeing the finished product. I gave some though to this also, a while ago, and was looking into clamps that can be reversed but could not find one small enough at the time. I should keep looking but I want to see your tool first.

Thanks super. Well as mentioned it is not much but it does the job. I may try to come up with something a bit better later on but this has been a life saver so far.

Here is the set of wheels and the tool I made. The axel slides in the grove, from there I place over the opening of a vise:


The thing at the top is the metal punch I am holding which I tap the axel out with:


Here is a pic of the "Gear jig 2.0" :


Again very simple, but effective.

I picked up the correct drill bit this weekend and the whole size is a bit better now. I only had a "wood" bit in 9/32". The one I picked up is a 9/32" metal bit, much easier to work with aluminum now...
