Power feed mod

[Shox Dr]

I've just bought a power feed for the mill. It's designed to run on the lefthand side. running parallel to the feedscrew using straight cut gears. I want to fit it to the righthand side in the standard 90* to the feedscrew.

So I need to replace the straight cut to a bevel. Finding this site selling parts, I see the bevel has a rubber coating to transmit the power. Is there a way you can do this yourself, or sub out? What's it called

How about a pair of bevel gears for a disc cutter? they are available on the bay.

I had thought of those as well, wonder what the ratio is

Nick the gears out of a cheap jack angle grinder head. Regarding those rubber faced drives, only time I've seen anything like that was on an old pedestal drill cone drive assembly. Apparently works quite well.
