Thank you K Harper. I've potentially got someone who can make the part for me, but if you have a machine with the part, I could maybe measure it etc...?

Someone I know may have one of these but it is currently in storage. Will have a look as soon as possible and let you know if we can help.

Simon, do you know the make of bacon slicer? May be able to help.

This is a longshot I am sure but you never know... I need a small (60mm approx) steel wheel turned up on a lathe with a 15mm hole in for a shaft to fit in it to be secured with 2 grub screws. The opposite face from the shaft needs a spiral groove cut into it. This is to operate a cam mechanism inside a rather old Bacon Slicer for which this part is now obsolete. This is part of the index mechanism for setting the cutting thickness. Unfortunately I don't have exact dimensions of the original part so it may require a bit of trial and error to get it to fit. In hope...
