Long ago my grandfather explained to me that it is not that a master worker does not make mistakes, it is that they know what to do about them. Nice save by the master.

I like how you admitted to the mistake on the drill bit size and explained what you do to fix it. Thanks.

For sure. I really doubt just by watching the video anybody would have picked up on the wrong drill hole anyway but of course there's no point in pretending that no mistake was made since we all make them.

Good project. Your weight loss journey is looking good.

Keith it appears you have dropped a fair bit of weight. Hope you are feeling better. As always a great episode. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Great recover from a mistake that we all occasionally make. Good to see how to overcome the problems.

I had a feeling the operation you had was something to do with weight loss. your looking great Keith!

You are looking good Keith. Im happy for you!

Very nice Keith. Good start on the gear blank. Thanks for sharing.

thank you Keith, this is going to be a great series.

Hello Keith, I always marvel at the sheer range of tooling in your shop be it drills reamers,boring bars milling cutters etc and the cost of just the cutting tools must be enormous. Love watching steel stock becoming gears. Thanks

good save on the dowel holes. i have used a drill checker for years after my similar experiences.

Hello Keith always a stand up guy I love watching your channel

I really enjoy watching machinery repair and rebuild. Keep that old iron alive.👍

I know this is older but I like watching your videos. So impressive

This is a fun project. Fairly simple compared to the massive machine overhauls. Gear making is always so saticfying. Looking forward to more of this one.

You are looking good.

Good morning, Keith. More gears to work on always fun.

Hello sir. Evidently things are changing. I hope very much you're in good health. Thank you for your time and effort in sharing your knowledge.

Good Morning Georgia!😊

The way that gear pressed fit out so easy at the start, enjoy them breezes when they come everyone, you'll soon be into a project that is testing your metal.

That indexing chuck is a pretty nifty tool to have VS starting in one hole and changing bits, reamers, counterbores... then moving to the next position to do it all over again.

Great video. Thanks. You're looking great! And I pray you're feeling well.

@Keith Rucker, I'd suggest case hardening the teeth of the gears, then setting them up in a cobbled together jig so that they can turn against each other and grease them up with lapping compound and let them polish each other.

If you don't have any "casenit", another method is to grind up some charcoal, take some stainless steel foil and put the gear in a foil envelope and fill and pack charcoal dust around it and put it in your heat treating oven for a few hours. If you have the inert gas atmosphere attachment, then you can just put the gear in a steel or ceramic pie pan and cover the gear with charcoal dust and dispense with the stainless foil.

Rather than throwing the drill bit away, consider grinding back the softened part of the bit to fresh metal and reshape/sharpen. I have done this many times after someone has damaged the flutes by wallowing with a hand drill or burnt out the tip of the flutes by drilling with dull/damaged bit.

I saw you over on Clark Easterling's channel, helping him with his shop. Very cool got others to jump in and help with the walls also. Thanks for the machining video. ........Keith

Very nice. Very well done.👍👍

There is a saying The man who never made a mistake, never made anything.

Takes a big man to admit to making a mistake. You have always been a stand-up guy, so I didn't expect anything less of you. Great job once again. Your shirts are looking a little big there, bud. The weight loss does look good. Can't wait for the next video. Haven't seen the cats in a while, but the puppy looks cute.

The takeaway here is always verify you tool sizes before going to final dimension. Why wait for the counterbore, jut use an endmill.

Nice one Keith looking good

I have often used an end mill to produce the counter bore for a cap screw When drilling use the surface speed calculation for best results Keep up the good work JIM ❤

I admire your skills.

Still the most honest, genuine guy on the YT! Hey Mr. Keith, I apologize for pointing this out, but looks like you’re losing weight, I hope that’s the plan. I know we can all trim down as we get older, at least I do.😂 thanks for your great channel and content!

Thanks Keith for the video. I alway like these projects.

Looking good Keith, you lost a lot of weight! Good content!

Good morning. Another great project.

Nice project, thanks for all of the detailed explanation. As an aside - helping a coworker the other day, mounting and industrial strength can opener in the kitchen - so we used olive oil as the lubricant / coolant for the job, worked a treat. Only thing that I goofed up on was not changing the battery on the drill motor. Got a little slow. Finished up really quick after the new battery was put in.🤣

Great video, I always enjoy watching you work. Take care.

Good reminder for myself to double check that drill size .

The weight loss looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Good one Keith, enjoyed. Been there with drill bit size error, now I keep a drill gauge next to the cabinet...funny how they jump into the wrong slots. ATB...

Nice work Keith, thanks for sharing.

KEITH, LOOKING GOOD AND GREAT VIDEO...SEE YOU WHEN...

This is then stuff we love!

oops happens, thanks for the reminder. I have gotten into the habit of hitting critical drills with the dial caliper before committing. Mainly because I cant see the etching on the bit with my near vision without using a magnifying glass.

Algorithm BOOSTER! Great job Keith!

Hiya Keith

Always a great video very informative thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing. Very much enjoyed.👍

good work keith!

There are no mistakes tell you can't fix it , just change of plans

The dog will NOT be walking away with the provided food bowl

@13:47 "That drill bit may have gotten hoy in the past and lost its temper." I hate it when my drill bits (or lathe bits for that matter) get mad at me.

@15:04 as you are applying pressure to the drill bit, that tailstock is creeping backwards quite a bit... by 15:08 its moved over an inch.

Thanks.👍👍👍

What happened to the Stoker Engine?

Did you ever finish the Derista drill press?

I suppose, if you don't have a sized broach, a one tooth tool can be created to be used on a scraper instead. Ron W4BIN

nice video

How do you determine the proper type of steel, heat treating, etc. in the original gear?

nice.

Couldn’t you retemper that drill bit. I would be interested in that video.

Some one is shrinking... you look great man.

Hey we all make mistakes now and then. The real test is to fix it so nobody knows! I had a good friend that always had a 0-1 micrometer in his pocket no matter where he went.

Keith, I just finished watching the videos on the New Haven Metal planer. It came out extrodinary, great job. I had asked you when you first got it if you would be interesed in planing my tables for my American 8" jointer, you said you would need some practice first. I was wondering if you feel up to it? I am going to be pulling it apart and having Shelix custom make a sprial cutting head for it that will take 4 to 6 months to make. Let me know. thanks.

👍

I'm geared up.... 🙂

Keith, what type of steel are you using? Stress Proof 1144? or other

Boy that was a pretty cut on the bandsaw. kinda heartbreaking to machine it down

Is that just mild steel?

30:50...that can happen to ANYONE-(!)

What brand of super spacer is that?

I do t understand why kieth didn’t use original holes. They should have been in near perfect shape having never been removed before.

That's fine if you find a way to accurately work out where each hole is, remembering that the holes are blind meaning you can't just drill from the other side of the shaft to come though the new front gear. I suppose it is possible to figure out exactly where each hole is positioned but the time and effort to do that for the benefit gained would not be warranted, especially if the holes were not originally accurately positioned using a super spacer or the like - each hole would have to be plotted accurately on the DRO in X and Y position. Even if it that were done, how do you position the gear with its new holes to accurately line up with the existing holes when the gear is pressed onto the shaft? With the tightness that the gear pressed onto the shaft, the gear could not be rotated after it is pressed on so the hole alignments would have to be dead nuts, especially the dowel holes, or the dowel pins would not fit through. So overall, the way Keith did it is a much simpler, much less time consuming way for a job where the end result is not a NASA spacecraft type job. Retired machinist in Land Down Under.

@@bobhudson6659 I would have used original gear and transfer punches. As for fitting, heat gear freeze shaft. Drops right on and can rotate. Been there done that. Since he oversized pins anyways would not have been an issue. Too many holes in cast iron makes it weak.

30:57...HECK- you didn't make a MISTAKE: you were MISINFORMED!!!

😀😀😀😀😀😀

Machining like this is not my forte and I can recognise that the path taken is steered by what's available. But the bloke on this channel regularly uses weld wire to build up worn or broken areas on the original part for subsequent machining back to size. www.youtube.com/@CuttingEdgeEngineering Nothing negative intended, just musing at idea of adding weld wire to the broken teeth on the original and reduced time etc.

I have not seen Kurtis build up gear teeth on his videos, only many internal bores and some external shafts (and then machining everything to original sizings). Keith also discussed the option of building up teeth using bronze welding at the beginning of this video but with the overall number of damaged teeth, he said best way out is remaking. This Keith (Rucker) and also Keith Fenner have several videos where they indeed braze on material and recut the teeth, but that is maybe for lesser number of teeth replacements or where the total gear replacement is not warranted, meaning not cost effective.

It's not the mistake that maters, but how you cover your as$.
