Every time I see you use the marvel saw it bring back great memories of my younger navy days in the pipe shop aboard the USS Sierra AD 18. I spent many hours using and cleaning that old marvel saw from 1960 to 1964. Our saw was haze gray with red and yellow trim. It also had a saw blade welder attached to the back, somehow I was always task with making the new blades. I want to believe it was because I was the best blade maker in the shop. LOL Love your video’s and look FWD to then each week.

As a millwright apprentice who runs lathes constantly your videos really help me improve my skills and give me good ideas of smarter ways to do things thank you

As a patron of the cummin fair ground i really appreciate your dedication to old iron thank you again.

Hey Keith, you appear to have lost a lot of weight, I hope it’s intentional and not due to health problems. Keep putting that old iron to good use. Can’t wait for the next shop tour.

Sweet can’t Waite for the next step

I find it interesting to think about the many different ways a part can be made. My first thought was that you would turn one end of the piece of Durabar round then turn it around in the chuck to make the gear blank on the other end. Then when you talked about turning the arbor between centers I thought you would be making it by turning between centers.

@pauldorman

Жыл бұрын

That was my thought as well, though the level of precision required here can easily be achieved with a four-jaw (or otherwise adjustable) chuck. And it turns out anyway that one end seems like it will be held in the dividing head [chuck?], so now I'm all confused wondering when the centres are actually going to be used! I'll just have to stay tuned to the next exciting episode I guess! Something I have always enjoyed about Keith's channel is that he's happy share these everyday, basic jobs with us all over and over again. As an armchair machinist with future aspirations of having my own home shop, I find it invaluable to have the opportunity to watch over Keith's shoulder, so to speak, as he goes about his work. So many little details, like how a chip forms, how fast the work is turning, how the sound lathe motor changes pitch under load, the sound of the half-nuts engaging and disengaging relative to tool position, etc., etc. Observing these sorts of things once is interesting, but observing them hundreds of times is getting an education!

I know nothing about this particular engine but it looks like the bull gear is part of the gear train to drive one of the wheels to propel the traction engine. I learned to fire and run a 10 HP single-cylinder Case traction engine in 1966. There were similar gears in the drive train between the engine and wheels for travel. Full-sized engines were geared to run at top speed to be about what a horse would travel pulling a plow.

Super cool !!

Nice job Keith, I'm curious did you make the washer or is that a standard one

🤔😮👍👍Fantastic Video. Thanks

Good Morning Georgia!😊

This is a great project. I swear I've seen Keith's odds and ends videos where he has hundreds of gear cutting tools. How is it possible that he only has one cutter that can do this job?

Good morning. Great project. About how long did it take to cut the blank on the Marvel saw? Thanks.

Excellent video as usual.

Since this seems to be a part that has taken a beating in the past, would there be any benefit in making a spare one while you're set up? Love what you do Keith! Thank you!

Always interesting when you fire up a machine and cut some chips, Keith, I couldn't help but notice at the end when you had the old part Beside the new gear blank that the new looked like it was about 1 cm shorter in the gear area than the old one, was that just the camera angle Keith. And a question please, if you are boring a hole for an interference fit like you did, (please don't think I'm being a smart a$$ here I am curious because I don't know) Should you wait till the part being bored cools down before coming to the desired diameter if so is it different for cast iron and different materials the tolerance of interference you need to leave for a proper fit? Thanking you for sharing your good work with us Keith Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

Must have been doing a tractor pull with it. 😂

I see the missing teeth on that gear and I wonder what happened to the piece that used to mate with this gear? It must have some damage too. And BTW, I watch the Tally Ho too. With Aloha...

I would never have thought to face the end and true up the diameter before cutting. That was a great idea that I'm going to store in my mental bank, but wouldn't clamping the turned surface in the Marvel's vise ensure that the face was square to the sides?

Hi Keith nice project . I do like gear making Do you have to heat treat cast iron gears after you make it . Thanks JM

Interesting how there are a million ways to do one or two pieces. I would have done all the turning, inside and out before cutting off the extra material. In fact, if I had a big enough chuck on the Indexer, I'd have cut the gears before cutting it too but that would have required the skin cut to be much further back and two cuts. That way, no mandrel would have been needed.

Being a gear engineer I'm slightly surprised that cast iron is being used, instead of steel. The old spur gear has shown how teeth can be broken off, whereas steel has better tensile strength which would help keeping the teeth on the gear, and not on the floor. I'm just curious. Good post, thank you.

@@NICK-uy3nl It is good practice to make one part of a system to be the sacrificial one or the one that breaks to prevent the more expensive and/or complicated parts from being damaged if there is an accident in the series of parts. It would be like a shear pin on an outboard motor prop that breaks instead of something in the engine or other parts of the whole thing. The shear pin is relatively easy to replace if the prop hits a log, rock, or other hard objects while propelling the boat. A key is also a likely part to break or shear if a sudden impact load is encountered.

Given the tendency of this particular gear to lose teeth, is it not appreciably rather expedient to make two replacement gears simultaneously to save on setup time?

I live in Ohio so I don't know quickly you could get it back . I have been doing this kind of work for over fifty years. It would be done correctly and no burn. A lot of people don't remove the material right.

“That should be to length….” And then he proceeds to cut the step without verifying the length with a ruler or something. Who does that?

Drew, I made a flippant comment about CI, but back in the day if you needed a lump of iron you got the foundry to cast you one. Recycle some scrap maybe. If you could make a pattern of your object, then you could have it. It’s really incredibly versatile, and low tech. Have a look at how Durabar is cast. Not the sort of thing you’d have in the factory foundry. In fact I think continuous casting is quite new as an industrial process. I certainly remember pioneering work on copper casting back in the late 1970’s. There was a cockup designing the runout rolls, the billet was too heavy to grip and it ran out of the die out of control. The cooling water was suddenly exposed to a ton or so of molten copper. The explosion took the aircraft hanger doors of the rails by about three feet. Took for ever to re fit!
