I bought a 45-ton press brake at an auction, cheap, because the big drive gear in the top is in two pieces. It's about 14" dia by 3" thick. It appears to from overloading rather being tipped over because there is no damage to the guards. There is room to bolt a steel disc on each side. Would this be a good way to repair it? I don't think brazing would be strong enough. The name is Wisconsin Forcemaster, made by Wis Equipment Corp in Medford WI. A websearch doesn't turn up anything, so if anyone can give me a lead to the company or a boneyard where I might get a used gear I would appreciate it greatly. TIA

Look in the local phone books for MACHINE REPAIR. Lots of companies out there that specialize in rebuilding large presses & brakes like that. Doubtful You'd be able to find a used one in one piece. I'm located right outside Milw. and there's no listing in the industrial Buying guides for Wisconsin Equip. You may want to call Wisconsin Industrial Machine Service in Waukesha, WI. (west of Milw. about 10-12 miles) and talk to them about it. 262-784-2300. They specialize in Industrial Machine repair/rebuilding.

Hey Bernie, if you can't fine a used one, here's what I'd try. Depending on what type of cast it is, I'd try V-ing it out and welding/brazing it first. Brazing, if done right, is alot stronger than most people realize. Then if you think it needs it, macnine recesses in each side and bolt a steel discs in them. If you make the recesses the same depth as the plate thickness and counter sink the bolt heads, you won't have anything sticking out to have to worry about clearing. Now depending on how much of this you can do yourself, and taking into account that this is, I assume, a straight tooth gear, you may come out just as good having a new one hobbed for it. I've put a link here for a list of gear makers, etc that you can check with. We always have a place called Spencer Pettis outside Gastonia ,NC do any gearmaking we need, and they are good. Not knowing what part of the country your in though I thought you'd be better off with the whole list. Good luck finding or repairing your gear.

Hi Wayne, thanks for your quick reply. I'm in MA (Massachusetts) so NC is a ways away. I was on the right track with the discs anyway. Thanks again.
