@Norman, I haven't seen anyone mod a G0602 with a tubmbler gear. I think it was a 9x12. Maybe it was on Steve Bedairs site, I'll have to see if I can find it.
Also, if you use the alingment of "baseline" instead of "left" when posting pictures they won't push the text to the right. You can edit the alignment of your existing posts as well by clicking on the edit button, then on the picture, then on the "insert / edit image" button. No worries, if it doesn't bother you than don't change it, but some people are perfectionists so I thought I'd let you know how to change it just in case it was bothering you. 
Nice idea using the old gear as an index. Clever!

I'll try to get them right….. I mean to the left side . I must have something going on with my computer as I had to try moving the photos more than once to get them correct.
The mill is supposed to be able to hold a tolerance of 0.0005. The main thing is to build the machine as precise as you can. Being a newbie to a mill I'm happy just to be able to make one I can get it close but still learning how to use this machine. I'm happy with 0.002 to 0.003. When I try to get things too precise I end up with stuff not fitting
I have a bunch of photos of building the mill and shaper on a forum I'm a moderator on ( motorbicycling.com) look for norms 2 stroke repair center and for the metal casting thread.
I'm glad you guys like my machines, I'm very pleased with them.

Norman, it always impresses the heck out of me to see this. I haven't the time or courage to tackle a project like that.
Welcome, and hope to see more of your stuff
I think I'll go out and clean my lathe, I'm glad I have it.

I have a couple of pictures of the foundry that I built to make all these things with.
Here's the dirty thing. The fuel tank is on the right side hanging from the welding stand. my sand molds are in the back ground in the grass.
The inside of the furnace it isn't round inside because I used fire bricks to line it. There is still a little bit of burning oil in there this photo was taken after I finished pouring. The steel plate on the right is the dross that was skimmed off before pouring the metal.
The blower is a old vacuum cleaner (hoover upright) the panel between the motor and furnace is a poorboy fire wall.
On the right is a mold after being poured in the middle is the ingot mold for the excess metal and the steel crucible.
My son wanted me to try to cast his car's emblem the top is his emblem bottom left is an aluminum casting on the right is one I tried to do in bronze it didn't turn out. I didn't have enough metal ooops!

new to this, but I need a shaper for a project I need to start soon. I know this is somewhat old, but it has inspired me to get a melting furnace set up and just build the shaper. Thanksfor the insperation!!!
