Cutting A Steel Pinion With A Shop Made Cutter

Taken from "Tools, Glorious Tools! #10 (Part 4) - Shop Made Gear Cutters - Making Cycloidal Cutters" / clickspring

[@paddlefaster]

Everything clickspring does looks like art.

[@mabmachine]

I really enjoyed this as I have to make a couple of pinions myself. But it left me wanting to see the custom cutter made.

[@JeroenvanMontfort]

I think it’s this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXbdh3ipaJVpqZY

1:54 Damn it, even the scrap pieces are pieces of art🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

[@Downtheshed]

agreed it looks look like a mini jet engine component

[@brianwarburton4482]

Excellent video as always. Could you not have cut off the end, faced off the end, drilled the hole and then parted off in one go? This would have saved making a brass or copper collet and would have ensured concentricity.

[@NRDavis-wl8vn]

That's how I feel. As long as it is already chucked why add another step.

[@hough495]

Too much stick out with the small diameter stock maybe?

[@brianwarburton4482]

@@Grauenwolf I see what you mean. Does seem a bit odd.....

1:17 Worlds coolest looking pencil.

[@ErikBongers]

Hadn't noticed before that the custom brass collet is a friction fit, not one with a slit and a pressure fit. 1:36

Thanks for another sweet clip Chris! Keep em comin!

Wao amazing work sir ❤️😍😘 Love from Pakistan

i really wanted to see that horizontal mill attachment rig you have there....

I wish I still had you eyesight, or a link to where you get your magnifiers from :-) INCREDIBLE work Chris. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers Pete'.

@@Bristoll170 no problem. I've used them since the '70s for really close work. You can get many different magnifications.

[@skoulatos]

Very nice!!!!

[@Rapidpanda1st]

1:30 I guess this method would only save material if one's cutting accuracy is better than the width of a cutoff tool...which mine is probably not. Love the content, however short and sweet.

[@SethKotta]

Thinking this video is either good or great is a master of... A pinion... Thank you very much, I'll be here all week.

[@garyshirinian]

How did you make the cutter also the radius of the teeth. Thx.

[@ariesmars29]

Love your work!

Il bello quando crei le fresa a modulo sorprendente ne aspettiamo altri , magari per orologi da tasca.... SALUTI.

[@adarshtripathi9444]

Wow

[@adarshtripathi9444]

Dear sir can we put the drill bit on Chuck of lathe machine and drill a workpiece. Let suppose if we can do this so where we have to put the workpiece. Please clarify me with your best video. I'll be most thank ful to you.

[@classicbandgeek]

Either use a drill press or if you have to drill a hole while the piece is in a lathe, the drill bit will he held by a chuck in the tail stock

[@BaquePhotography]

I have a theory that Cris Ramsey broke Clickspring. After that card press the uploads just stopped.

[@srpacific]

Clips has been 4 videos a month, main channel has slowed down but I wouldn’t stay “stopped” - I’m sure there’s hundreds of hours of video waiting to be edited.

[@nobodyuknow2490]

So when you're cutting the teeth on the gear, when you get to the end, do you prefer one big tooth, or two little ones? ^_^

[@sanjaysami4315]

😂

[@MudSharkDanceLesson]

How exactly is the pinion being held in place at 1:39 in the lathe? It doesn't look like you used any glue

[@knusern666]

pressure fit

[@jabawib8691]

@@knusern666 yeah, you can see the grooves that the teeth left from the pinion

[@gseivert]

Chris, why use the blue dykem? I understands it’s use if marking a cut to a certain length. But why when cutting teeth with machinery? Is it just for our sake and it looks good on camera?

[@lwilton]

He wants to just cut to the depth where the blue disappears (and no more) to get the correct rounded top profile of the gear and right gear diameter. It's a lot easier to see the blue disappear than to try to see that a 0.002" wide flat spot has disappeared on the top of the tooth.

[@hahagagagaga4710]

I always like before watching the video

Chris, the second your video pops out I instantly click to watch

awesome

If I need to cut some splines I know where to go...

i want the tip.

[@vikitheviki]

The sun is shining..

[@stickypaddle6432]

But why coping saw

[@davidsmart8594]

"Best Workshop Practice" is to have at least three teeth of the saw blade touching the surface to be cut (otherwise there is a risk of the teeth 'digging in')...that's probably the reason he chose a (fine-toothed) jewellers' saw.

[@stickypaddle6432]

@@davidsmart8594 no no I mean parting is a thing right

[@davidsmart8594]

@@stickypaddle6432 I understand... No, for the same reasons...the parting tool (1 'tooth' of a saw), might 'catch' during an intermittent cut, giving a very rough looking cut.

[@Solitaire1]

OK I am disappointed in this one, Chris. That air nozzle used to clear away the cuttings was not a beautifully crafted tool hand wrought out of fine brass with delicate engravings. In fact, it was rather ugly. Shame on you for showing an "ordinary" shop tool on your channel!
