I found a couple of stores on ebay where they offer reasonably priced
metal gears, that may fit some of our laminators:
1. fivefive.co.ltd:
http://stores.ebay.com/fivefive-co-ltd/Gear-/_i.html?_fsub=13520882017
2. speed-mart:
http://stores.ebay.com/speed-mart/Spur-Gear-/_i.html?_fsub=1646085919&_sid=1130292079&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
Both stores have gears for several different shaft sizes, and allow
searches on the site by shaft size. This cuts down the number of entries
to look at. The gears have round holes with collars with set screws to
fit flatted shafts.
I have found a set of gears that look like they probably would work in
the Harbor Freight laminator, but I am holding off ordering them until I
determine whether the plastic supports for the roller shafts soften at
the same low temperature at the gears. If they do, there is no point in
further pursuit of the high temperature mod for that laminator.
I will report back after I have tried to melt the supports.
