I intend to cut new reversing gears for my 52" Sheldon lathe using black acetal. Several articles suggest annealing before machining which would start at 7:00 AM on day 1 and conclude at 2:00 PM on day 2. This involves hourly ascending temperature adjustments from 7:00AM to 4:00PM, then hourly descending adjustments from 9:00PM to 2:00PM the next day.
Is it worth the effort or this this one of those things that never gets done and the parts work fine anyway?
Don't want to make them twice.
