KDT Edgebanding Machine Gluing Gear 18T - Spares For KDT Woodworking Edgebander

Need the gear that turns inside the glue tank of a KDT edgebander? This is it: an 18-tooth gluing tank gear in metal, 58 mm across the rim, 20 mm bore with a 6 x 6 mm keyway, 40 mm hub on a 40 mm overall height. It is listed as a spare for KDT woodworking edgebanding machines, mounts in the glue pot, and is held on the tank shaft by a key and two set screws. Product ID 46233677. Price is quoted on request.

A glue tank rarely fails in one go. It starves the edge first: a dry patch on the first panel, a glue line with gaps, a band that lifts a week later. When the pot is finally opened, the cause is one rotating part inside it. On a KDT edgebander, this 18-tooth gluing tank gear is that part.

The KDT Edgebanding Machine Gluing Gear 18T turns inside the glue tank of a KDT woodworking edgebander. It is a metal spare, listed as an edgebanding machine part, and it carries adhesive through the pot to the panel edge. Tooth count is the fitment number: 18.

Size is checked next: 58 mm across the gear rim, 40 mm hub, 20 mm bore with a 6 x 6 mm keyway, 40 mm overall height. Because the gear turns in adhesive all day, the teeth take the load. A worn tooth lets it slip instead of drive, so the glue reaching the edge changes from panel to panel, and the excess leaves as waste and mess.

One gear restores the drive and steadies glue delivery without opening the rest of the tank. The bore is keyed and the hub is tapped, so the key and set screws from the worn gear locate the new one on the tank shaft. Fitment is KDT edgebanding machines.

What the tooth count, the dimensions and the keyed bore settle before the first panel runs:

• 18 teeth — The count in the product data, so the old gear is checked against one number, not a drawing.
• 58 mm rim — Outer diameter across the teeth is 58 mm, taken from the dimensioned product drawing.
• 20 mm bore, 6 x 6 mm key — The bore is 20 mm with a 6 x 6 mm keyway, so the tank shaft key drives the gear instead of a press fit.
• 40 mm hub, 31 mm long — Hub measures 40 mm across and 31 mm below the rim, on a 40 mm overall height.
• Glue tank position — It is the gluing tank gear, so it turns inside the pot in adhesive, not dry on the machine frame.
• Two set screws — The hub in the photos carries two tapped holes, so the gear is locked on the shaft as well as keyed.
• One gear, not an assembly — A worn tooth is one part to change, not a glue pot or a glue-tank assembly.
• Stated fitment — Application is spares for KDT edgebanding machines, so it is a service item for one machine family.
• No special tooling — Installation is straightforward, with no special tools or training called for.

Between a glue pot opened for diagnosis and a gear swapped in place, the difference is how many numbers you check before ordering:

• The fitment check is one count. 18 teeth, 58 mm rim, 20 mm bore, 6 x 6 mm keyway — four numbers read off the old gear and matched against this one.
• A part swap, not a tank rebuild. One gear comes out and one goes back in, so the pot is down for a changeover instead of a rebuild.
• Glue delivery stops drifting. A gear that drives rather than slips holds the adhesive amount steady from panel to panel, and the 18 teeth set that rate.
• Less glue in the scrap bin. Steady metering trims the excess that becomes waste and mess, so one glue charge covers more panels.
• The bore is visible before you pay. Photos show the 20 mm bore, the 6 x 6 mm keyway and the two tapped holes, so your tank shaft is compared with the gear before the order ships.
• The fitting stays in-house. No special tools or training keeps the repair with your own maintenance fitter, on the service stop you already planned.
• Sold as cost effective. The gear, not the pot, is what gets replaced, so the glued edge returns to standard for one part.

KDT edgebanding machines. The gear is listed as a spare for KDT woodworking edgebanders and mounts in the glue tank, so a machine from another maker takes a different part.

18 teeth, 58 mm across the rim. The bore is 20 mm, the hub 40 mm across and 31 mm below the rim, on a 40 mm overall height, so all of it can be checked on the worn gear.

Metal. Metal is the material listed for the part, and the product photos show a machined sprocket rim on a solid hub.

By a key plus two set screws. The bore carries a 6 x 6 mm keyway and the hub has two tapped holes, so the gear is both keyed against rotation and clamped along the shaft.

No. Installation is straightforward, with no special tools or training called for, so a fitter can swap it during a normal service stop.

It makes the glue amount uneven. Worn teeth slip instead of drive, so adhesive varies from panel to panel and banded edges show gaps or weak bonds.

No, measure first. Match 18 teeth, 58 mm rim, 20 mm bore and the 6 x 6 mm keyway against the old gear, then quote product ID 46233677.

Price is quoted on request. The gear sits with the other KDT spares — vacuum pods, pressure wheels, chain pads, supporting rollers, rubber pads, motors and sensors — so one enquiry covers the pot.
