| The opened but assembled gearbox. Although I want to polish the gears (to remove burrs) it already runs much better than the original gears. The complete Shay kit cost me about €60 ($100). The motor, bulhead and gearset cost me another €30 ($50). Is it worth it? I think so yes. I went through the painstaking process of deburring when I built the red Shay. All in all it cost me 40 hours to make the mechanism run smoothly. Time reduction may amount as much as 30 hours!! That's €1 per hour!! | S1050416b.JPG |
