Gear cutting. Making gears in the home workshop.

- In this video, I make some MOD0.6 involute gears using the gear cutters I made in my last video. The gears are made from mild steel and are going to be used in a model five-speed gearbox. In the video, I use my home-made dividing head and a rotary table to index the gears. This is the process of incrementally rotating the gear blank to cut the correct number of teeth. I am using a Myford Super 7B lathe and an X3 milling machine.
I once made a gear with an M1 Z 38 module with a diameter of 50 mm, but it was damaged because the module was worn out and why did I get a low score🤣
Speaking of mod 0.6 gears, a set where one has 200 teeth and the other 189 will almost perfectly convert a 1.5 mm pitch leadscrew to 16 TPI or vice versa. At mod 0.6 they'll also more or less fit on the common imported 7" mini-lathes; this is a project I look forward to tackling this winter. Thank you for the video; there's no way to have too much insight into the practice.
That's a nice payoff.
Metal Gear!
cool contraption. Looking at the finish on your parts it looks like you have some serious rigidity issues on your lathe. Might be worth checking the bearings and gibs.
Awesome, do yo know any whee that can make a set of steel gears for a RC ClodBuster truck? 32 pitch gears pretty small but in the range of what you were making in this vid.
Great video.I would like to know the diameter and TPI of the threaded part of your Myford lathe spindle.Thank you.
😅where can I find the first video on how to make the gear cutters? Very informative video. David, Aylburton, Glos
May I ask a silly question ,how do you determine the diameter of each gear depending on the number of teeth you need ?thanks
Thanks a lot.
Gears are amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for informative videos like this 👍
Very admirable craftsmanship! Excellent video, too. Thanks very much.
Nice work.
Great video. New to channel...have to start from beginning..
Neat setup. Gears are fun.
Very well done Thanks for sharing all the best to you from John in Texas
You’re doing great! You’ve done a great job!
I enjoyed this video, nice clean gears. I would like to see more on the custom dividing head that you made. It appears relatively simple in design while still quite effective.
Brilliant, and Great video cheers
