This is a really cool project. One thing to point out (which may not be a problem) is locating the plate with only bolts. It should have at least 2 locating pins.

Great project. My $.02 for what its worth. In the future 2 dowel pins in the cover and maybe 4 threaded 1/4-20 holes for jack bolts to get the cover off. Will definitely make your life much easier keeping and maintaining alignment. 👍

I agree 100%. For a gear box dowel pins are a must. You can not rely on threaded components for alignment. There is far to much variability. Worst case scenario you can have gears walking out of mesh or binding.

One point I'd mention on the shifting is that the dogs not being perfectly done mean that really only 1 (or 2) dogs are transferring the load as they are a few thou closer than others. So might defeat the purpose of having extra dogs for strength. However, perhaps it would wear in over time to be equal if the difference is small? Should have started with this, but I am really impressed! You did an amazing high quality job and love the badge idea. Nicely done man, what a daunting project without an existing design too. I'm curious about all the troubleshooting you had to do, maybe an interesting video for it's educational value? Again, impressive!

Like how it turned out, the 2 speeds would give the lathe much versatility. Goes to show how a standard factory machine can be re-engineered for optimum performance. Like you said at the end, and I was thinking throughout the build, a CAD design would simplify the build especially for a gearbox. On CAD you would get, dimensions, tolerance, materials and fitment set at the start.🐞

Yeah true but I am trying to make the videos linear. Not all problem solving is this way some times you chase your tail for hours w no results. Some mistakes I show but capturing lots of directionless troubleshooting is not interesting to watch and also filming in mist of frustration of troubleshooting is also problematic. No outside work was done. I did it all. I also got hurt bad so I was off a month or so which didn’t help me get this done efficiently

Brotha man, brotha man, threaded pins for location is key, both on the piece and plate. Ideally you should design a gearbox in such a way, in my opinion in the context of your project, to where you can have it assembled before installation on your equipment. So you can test your axial and radial endplay as well as backlash. And i can say from experience its wise to test play on your lever. I didnt see if you had seals, or gasket material?

@peterfitzpatrick7032

Ай бұрын

Using drilled holes in the backplate as a reference isn't great practice either... drill then bore for concentricity... personally, I'd have set it upon the lathe and line bored it between centres, but thats just me...🤔 Re. Seals and gasket, I'd use sealed bearings and run the gears in a nice gloopy 50 / 50 oil and grease mix and probably just use a liquid gasket... Putting a spring-loaded ball bearing in the back of the gear change handle and dimples in the body would help maintain position...
