Drive Gear for Skil 594 Belt Sander

I modeled this gear in CAD to replace the 60 year old cracked, broken Nylon gear on my Skil Belt Sander. The OEM gear was formed (poured? cast?) around the motor's metal shaft during manufacture. This gear differs in that it slides over the shaft to mate with the hexagonal "nuts" on both sides of the OEM shaft. (I put a small amount of industrial adhesive (e.g. E6000) in the middle of the gear when I installed it.) This gear is printed from a tough plastic (PCTG) and should perform fine. But frankly, since I have no control over how this Supplier prints this gear (number of perimeters, printing temperature, etc.), I don't know how well it will perform compared to the one that I printed myself at home. But the price is right. Worth trying if you want to bring your old workhorse of a belt sander back to life.
