Just a word of advice about cutting feed direction. It is recommended to only cut forward into the gear blank with a B&S type gear cutter. They being a form cutter are likely to grab in the cut groove if you use them for 'climb milling'. The best procedure is to cut forward through each tooth slot then return back through that slot with no extra infeed put on.

Good day to you, a great share of making a gear, we enjoyed. Smart to cut the first in a soft material to learn it ten converts to the steel that makes sense and you put them right to work on your lathe nice. Lance & Patrick.

Thanks Lance and Patrick. Long time since I heard from you guys glad you enjoyed and hope your keeping well.

Better to use a flanged arbour to avoid the runout that resulted. That is likely to induce more wear on the aluminium teeth, operating in the lathe.

Well done Joe, years ago I had misplaced my 40T gear on the lathe drivetrain, so I made one from Al like you. But i made a single tooth cutter ground to the contour of the tooth pattern. It worked great and I made another from Bronze and then I found the gear. Anyhow, gear cutting is a great experience, enjoyed the vid, congrats on the subs, and cheers!

Sounds interesting cutting gears with a single tooth cutting tool. Yeah it is satisfying when that last pass lines up and created a perfectly spaced gear. Thank you for your continued support on the channel Howder all the best.

Well done on successfully cutting your first gears. I definitely need to try doing so myself. 👏👏👍😀

Thank you Andrew was a great feeling when that last cut lined up. If I didn’t need to I definitely wouldn’t of started with a 100T gear.

Nice one Joe, its good not to hide mistakes, it makes the channel feel real. Your camera work and editing has really got good. Keep it up Mate!

Good video, I'm done cutting custom gears and changing them though. Electronic leadscrew ftw, reckon that'll make a good build series if you want to embark on that journey.

Hi dude welcome to the channel haven’t seen a comment from you before. I have already previously done this however it was belt and pulley attached not direct drive. Definitely a better option for full time use.

Hi Joe, I’ve recently come across your videos and nearly binged watch them all! It’s great to follow you on your journey and excited for your future projects. I’m in a similar position to yourself, I’m in the process of building a workshop in my garden to house my Warco lathe. Even got a baby on the way too! I’m a complete novice to the ways of home machining and finding your videos both inspiring and informative. I’m a design engineer by trade and trying to learn the model machining ways. Possibly one fun future project for your channel could be an RC tank? All the best, Alex.

Hi Alex that’s great your enjoying my content I’m so happy it is helping beginners like yourself. Hope your workshop comes together and look forward to hearing from you in the comments section on future videos. All the best happy machining.

Great video! Perhaps I should have a go at learning confusion 360.

Thank you, plenty of tutorial videos on KZread and it’s a great tool for getting dimensions and prototypes

Bit risky drilling both blanks together, but, bcoz it was Aluuminum (spelling intentional) you got away with it 🙂Flat tooth, yep, its tedious doing all those teeth, if we are honest, most of us have done that at least once. And, Climb milling vs Std milling, see the difference on alternate teeth, the smooth ones are climb milled, but there is danger of snatch 🙂 Good job for 1st try 😀

Thanks Dr1verman I’ll have to inspect the gear profile and see if the finish is as you say will be interesting. Appreciate your support and comment all the best.

You will certainly get a different finish in the alternatively forward cut and climb cut slots.

10:05 Thats a quote from a movie but i cant quite recall it... Guy Ritchie? Let me think. 🤔

Do you have to harden the gear s before you fit them?

@MachiningwithJoe

2 жыл бұрын

If they were going to be under heavy load then yes make them from high carbon steel and harden them. However for a mini lathe these should be ok as some versions of this lathe come with plastic gears.

So how did you know what diameter you needed, to get 100 teeth on to the gear evenly? Did you get your drawing from someone in the know?
