Charleston Naval Shipyard had a precision gear machine that was programmed by 4 gears in the machine. 4 equations had to be satisfied to pick the 4 programming gears. I wrote a BASIC program to test every possible combination to solve the problems. I only had a Radio Shack Model 3 to run the program. It took 2 weeks to complete. 24/7. Each time it came up with a solution, it stored the data on its floppy disk and printed it out on one line of the printer. After completion, the results were sorted and printed out to create 7 volumes to use on the machine. Tests showed my effort gave results making custom gears much easier with no math. That was in 1975.

That's very interesting. I wonder could it do prime numbers of teeth? Perhaps if you had a prime number as one of the programming gears?

@@trevorvanbremen4718 I need at least 3 different sizes of gears. Module 1, DP16, and DP18 with at least two different pressure angles between them. Good quality US-made gear cutters are around going to be around $50-100 each, minimum. I can get sets of import gears from Asia for around $100 per set, but the quality is unknown. Some of the DP imports are marked for 14.5 degrees, which is what I need, but are really 20 degrees, which will eventually damage the original gears in my machines. On top of that, how many gears do I really need? At least a set of metric transposition gears for each machine, which is only 6 gears at the moment. But they're 127 and 100 tooth gears... Those would, indeed, be more labor intensive using his method, but still much cheaper. Buying the gear cutters in sets so I could do any tooth count of gear in the sizes I know I need now is going to be much more expensive, but cost at least somewhat less time. What happens if I need another size gear for any reason? Just one, or just a few... One of these days maybe I'll know the answers to those questions, but for right now, accumulating knowledge of the various ways of doing this is good. And I have slitting saws in an assortment of sizes... If you know what you need, the answer is simple. If you do not know what you really need, things are a lot less simple! ;) Bill

As a job shop machinist of 20 some years and a industrial maintenance mechanic who was the go to machinist at that plant for nearly 17 years I was quite impressed with this video. This is the type of project you might be given in a school shop for the student(s) to learn machine practice and theory. Although not practical in the real world the experience the math the adaptation of machine tools and the hands on machining would be priceless. Let me add you could have save yourself a few radius corner cuts by using an endmill with rounded corners. They can be shaped quite easily by hand to the end mill using a grinding wheel. One cut centered and done.

I don't think the quality would come anywhere near to that of a gear produced by specialist machines such as hobbers, planers and shapers and if you compare your time spent with subcontracting to a specialist I would sub out. However, that would take the fun and job satisfaction away. Enjoyed the video and the nostalgic trip.

A very clever and ingenious method for an emergency repair gear. The machining operations are tedious to say the least. Instead of a slitting saw, a shop-made PARALLEL HOB reduces the number of machining operations to 1, 2, or 3, depending on the number of teeth required. This parallel hob is worthwhile if a number of gears are required with differing tooth counts, because a hob will cut all tooth counts of a given pitch and pressure angle. Best of all this type of hob is quite easy to make because the teeth are circumferential. Think of rack teeth wound around a cylinder. The only relief for the hob teeth is radial, which is easily milled. The 6 gears for Maudslay's reversing gear for the steam engine on my channel were made by this method using the hob described. It was still tedious work! Thanks, Andy, for your work in developing this methodology. w

Thanks! Yes, I've made 'hobs' like this before and they are very useful. They look like a stack of no.1 involute cutters and you use them the same way, indexing one tooth (or fraction of a tooth) at a time so no need for a proper hobbing setup.

As I understand it, shapers were used to cut teeth in the old days. Your method may be a bit "hammer and tongs" but it very accurately explains how this was actually developed. Thank you for putting in the hard work to make this easy for your watchers. Even with the extra effort, I think a BS 0 dividing head would be a better use of my meager funds than a devoted set of gear cutters. Especially as you mentioned I only will be cutting the odd gear, and the expense of a cutter set is prohibitive. VERY WELL DONE!!!

@@AndysMachines Have you considered a mix of this and a purpose made d-bit? There's been a few people make and use purpose ground D-bits (click spring is one), but they have a lot of work to do if asked to remove ALL of the metal. I can see using this like a roughing cut (as in those first 2 cuts up to about 9:30) where you made a "cartoon gear" and then using a D-bit to finish it off. Even if you have proper gear cutters using this to rough cut would makes sense as it would reduce the work of those expensive cutters. You could get a lot more life (as in more gears) out of those cutters. it would even work for those hobs you make by reducing their work to just the gear profile. This is really clever.

Great technique, lovely video work and explanations. My dad was a gear designer so the terminology is familiar but I can see many may not understand why teeth are even an involute shape. Most people do not even know what module means and why they are specified in two different ways. There are older ISO, AGMA, DIN and BS standards for calculating gear profiles, spacing, corrections and more. My dad used to routinely do these calculations for the gear boxes that were put into production at all the places he worked. Knowing about strength of materials and hardening was important for lifetime wear calculations and dimensioning the gear widths and selecting bearings. Not many in South Africa who were doing the calculations in-house, most relied on service from tool suppliers or parent companies abroad.

At the risk of stating something aleady known to most of those who would be interested in knowing it, one key advantage of involute flank profiles (other profiles are available and viable!) is that involute gears will run smoothly even when the centre distance is larger than nominal. This can be very handy when sychronising top and bottom pinch rollers (as in a machine for rollforming, say metal roof guttering). It is necessary to be able to adjust the centre distance to achieve the desired result, and to accomodate roll wear. If smoothness is not paramount, by resorting to comparatively large teeth, quite a range of meshing distance variation is possible, especially in relatively agricultural applications, as with old-fashioned "mangles" for wringing wet clothes.

The title says "Cut Any Gear ..." so I was wondering if the technique was good for other types, like helical and perhaps bevel gears. Spiral bevel is probably a stretch too far. But, after watching for the second time I wonder if you could cut helical or bevel gears with adaptations of it. The bevel gear is particularly intriguing as it can be done on a shaper with a straight edged tool and some geometric gymnastics. Just wondering.

Yes, it would be possible to do helical and bevel gears, in fact any gear can be generated from a rack profile which is really just two straight cuts at an angle to each other. It would be much more complicated of course and I haven't tried it and probably won't, at least manually, it really needs to be done on a CNC machine to keep track of all the numbers. Spiral bevel gears I find it hard to get my head around and they are actually cut to a modified profile to make them easier to manufacture. Some types of straight bevels are also cut to a modified profile rather than the geometrically correct one where the teeth would get smaller and smaller and eventually disappear at the point of the cone.
