Cutting a Gear With a Motorized Rotary Table (Part2)

Finally we cut the gear with the motorized rotary table.

Well done Lee. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Fine project, well performed and nicely presented.

Lee Peedin -- Excellent Video -- very creative. I totally agree with your use of a stepping motor. The number of indexing divisions become insignificant. Indexing plates etc.- become obsolete. This can totally change the dynamic's of indexing. I call this a " Game Changer " -- Jim

What a great project. I'm an old retired programmer also, and I like your approach. I need to get on the rasberry pi wagon. I still enjoy writing code when I get a chance.

Well done Lee, nice demo of using that stepper motor, and completely doable in a home shop. Enjoyed, cheers!

Nice job Lee. I believe there are charts or equations in Machinery’s Handbook for measuring over wires to precisely obtain correct tooth height/pitch diameter. I have a copy of a drawing for Hardinge-made gears that states the wire diameter and the measurement for correct tooth height. The drawing is dated 1949, obviously hand-drawn and beautiful.

VERY interesting. I like the fact you are always expanding your knowledge and your skills.

Great project. I took your idea and put a stepper one my dividing head with a Raspberry pi and touch screen. My son programmed a gui interface and I provided the math settings. It works great. Thank you for the inspiration.

Nice work Lee. Your machine is awesome. Great idea.👍 Thanks for sharing.

That's the pRt that. Scars. Me the most about cutting gears. Very cool

[@scottbenauer1189]

Like this whole project I would like to do this myself on my machine someday.

[@OhHeyTrevorFlowers]

That's solid work and dang useful. Thank you for sharing.

[@clifeddens1658]

Congratulations! That was amazing!!

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed…ur above my pay grade…koko

Great series

[@incubatork]

Great mod of the rotary table and cutting the gear, would you consider going over the electrical installation from the Pi to the stepper motor, also could you use an arduino. thanks in advance

[@burtlade1705]

A rotary table is perfectly capable of making gears, at least mine does using the dividing plates.
