Cutting Gear Teeth On The Lathe

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

The hold up with the Antikythera mechanism series is due to the time it takes to get an academic paper published. Chris is still producing new material but has left little time to do videos. It has been in Academic review which basically means that his contentions and facts are checked and considered by professional archaeological experts. If the reviewers have any questions they write to him and ask for them to be explained. He then has to prepare academically acceptable explanations and send them back to the reviewers. Once all these exchanges are completed a final decision is arrived at to decide whether the paper will be published or not. The whole process can take several months per series of queries. This is normal operating procedure for any academic publication in a properly peer reviewed journal. It is why peer review is considered the gold standard of publication. It has already been through several cycles but no one knew how long it would take before a decision was reached. It has now been accepted but we still do not know when it will be published. Once the Antikythera paper is published things will return to normal. He has promised that members of the Discord channel (available to his Patreon supporters) will be allowed to read his paper.

[@Stefan_Van_pellicom]

Thank you for explaining !

[@MudSharkDanceLesson]

Thank you for that explanation! So I understand why he has refrained from posting his work during the peer review process. But now that the process is over and his paper has been accepted, why is he still refraining from posting his new content? I understand that it hasn't been published yet, but I would imagine that anyone attempting to "steal" or plagiarize his work would be met with immediate rejection by any peers, now that whatever discovery was made by Chris has already been established and reviewed.

[@anthonyrich1592]

@Clickspring Clips: Congratulations are in order! Well done, mate! Looking forward to hearing "G'day" coming to back to our screens soon.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

This is the outcome of what we already knew, Chris has the ability and knowledge of how things could of been done and this knowledge is priceless....congratulations Chris, can’t wait to read the information

[@jrkorman]

A version (final? I'm not sure) was released to Patreon subscribers back in August.

[@yamahantx7005]

I see Clickspring, I click!

[@BrianEltherington]

I know what you mean, My right index springs into action! LOL

[@robertoswalt319]

You are truly at one with your tools. It is like watching a ballet the way that you coax parts out of raw metal blanks.

[@Tfaonc]

All that beautiful work with the part filling my screen perfectly. Then your ENORMOUS hand contra in and takes the part off the machine.

[@constantintriantafyllos6482]

The best produced video on KZbin

[@PeterPatterson-vt2cx]

Good morning, good morning! Ahhh, a nice coffee, a bit of lathe work and finish off with a post precision cigarette. The joys of life. Thank you Chris! 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@jasoncooper5265]

Miss the longer videos with you talking about them. How is the main project going? Haven't seen any updates......

[@abdullahabd7677]

He uploads them into patreon I think

[@Downtheshed]

Absolutely amazing workmanship as always.

[@pacatus1237]

Incredible, love the editing

[@Forexfox99]

That last slow-mo tooth cut is soooo satisfying.......

[@askutty7358]

Nicely explained 👍 the metal cutting force vs glue bonding force is to be elaborated

[@EleanorPeterson]

I like the shadow-free lighting. You don't notice it until you see how some other Channels do things. Clickspring's is very bright but soft, which is, incidentally, a perfect description of me. (Just kidding. I'm dim not bright, and sorta kinda squishy.)

[@horacegentleman3296]

Shhhhh

[@uspockdad6429]

Yeah, I don’t know if Chris films and edits everything himself, or has help, but they are all among the most well done videos I’ve ever watched. PS. If you are here, I’m guessing you are pretty bright, and a little squishy is just another form of soft. ;)

[@pjhalchemy]

Not only lighting but scene selection, backgrounds and focus...then there is the storytelling, voice over work and editing, making for some of the finest videography I've seen. Just superb and best of class in a difficult setting!

[@pjhalchemy]

Precision Magic at work here! Thanks Chris!

[@michaelbontoft5026]

Really miss his his calm voice as he describes how he goes about making what to me is an almost impossibly beautiful creation

[@adrianfgaleano]

Lovely work, as usual.

[@stevengordon5511]

Why the thumbs down this is fantastic work. Thank you for your videos.

[@michael931]

Because it explains nothing

[@bitnertinkers]

Really enjoy your videos. Wish you put out some more full like projects

[@frfrpr]

Totally awesome filmwork here!

[@sergiugavrila849]

You are so good man, very impresive masterpiece

[@eddiev1980]

OMG , on que my wife brings home some Monte Carlo biscuits and a new Clickspring clip turns up. Guess im going to watch **** looks up at video title**** Cutting Gear Teeth On The Lathe....nice

[@orcunguneser8923]

you are the best of youtube, its a fact and everybody knows it.

[@db4423]

1:24 ah yes that's the right place ......

[@risagian]

for me when I watch this video it is almost a Religious moment of absolute perfection

[@rbclima]

classic clickspring beauty!

[@robertreynolds9228]

Friggen awesome homie. Love it

[@machinist_matt]

Your work is always super nice. 👌

[@tedf1471]

I may be missing the point here, but the profiles of the gear teeth will not allow them to mesh with another, similar gear wheel (they almost mimic the wooden 'cogs' from an old windmill.)

[@ferben2114]

Just AMAZING!!!!!! Like all the other videos!!! What kind of steel did youo use to make the cutting gear teeth?

[@АлександрПисецкий-у5ш]

Why do the markings on paint, if then sharpen all the same on the limbs?

[@EleanorPeterson]

It's important that all the lines and marks are visible so he can see if the workpiece is still mounted correctly, that nothing's moved out of alignment, and also if the tool is cutting accurately. On a CNC multi-axis milling machine you don't need to mark anything because you can see what's going to happen on the display screen. Chris works by hand, so it's one less thing to worry about if everything shows up clearly. :-)

[@nikhockey7316]

He paints the perimeter to establish the right depth of cut. There is a good video on how he makes the gears and wheels too!

[@matsworld9386]

Man i can't wait for you to produce full length videos again .. is the Antikythera still in the works??

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

Yep! See my longer reply eslewhere in these threads.

[@brandontscheschlog]

Very Cool! What size Aloris tool holder do you use on your SC4 lathe? AXA or OXA? I have an Little Machine Shop SC4 lathe but it came with the modified compound slide which is milled for an AXA tool holder but I feel they compromised rigidity by taking off too much material. I would like to get an unmodified compound slide and use either my AXA tool holder or if I need to use the smaller OXA. Thank you ! Love your work!

[@ClickspringClips]

AXA, with toolholders milled out to permit lowering of the cutting edge to center - Cheers :)

[@ChiralSymmetry]

Is that gear using cycloidal teeth? I've wondered why many clockmakers use cycloidal gears instead of involute gears. Do you know why? Or where I can look to find out why?

[@manwithouteyes]

Low friction.

[@CM-xr9oq]

Now, let's see it with only a lathe, and no mill.

[@teamidris]

I suppose you put the indexing chuck on the cross slide? Cutter speed would be my problem. If I went slow though.

[@americanstriper8666]

You should try machining a brass padlock. Since you like to work with brass alot.

[@jonedmonds1681]

Who makes that spindle please? Or is it shop made?

[@snorttroll4379]

what is that purple stuff and how does one heat treat?

[@peterwooldridge7285]

What a fantastic medium brass is

[@firearmsstudent]

What is that attachment he fit onto that lathe?

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

I so wish those academics pull their finger out and give Chris back to us, we want out longer videos again

[@Bbonno]

Would a clock run any different if you went through the trouble of making it with herringbone gears? Generally they transmit power more smoothly, but would that do anything noticeable in a clock?

[@smellsofbikes]

One of the things they do in clocks is use lantern wheels and matching sprockets, to minimize friction. Helical type gears have more friction than straight-cut gears, so are a good choice for very high torque but not so good for extremely friction-sensitive applications like clocks.

[@garyshirinian]

What is geometry of the cutter you made for the gears. I like watching you videos thx. Hope you have time give me an answer.

[@desperatefootsteps]

Would one be able to cut internal teeth on a lathe?

[@fareshesham5096]

please, tell me what is the purple lubricant is used in this process?

[@henk2plus3]

Good video. When will you be posting on the main clickspring channel again?

[@ericmgodfrey]

@@Beregorn88 - Are there videos? I assumed he wasn't making them for now.

[@henk2plus3]

Most, if not all of them are short snippets from the original channel. Haven't seen new content in a while

[@paulthebaker]

Stunning

[@joshua.snyder]

When you glue parts for milling, do you use an activator on the glue?

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

I don’t know if Chris does but other users had poor results using activator. Personally, I use it without activator.

[@timothyball3144]

@@jeffarmstrong1308 I think I read that while the activator makes it set up quicker, it doesn't hold as well. The way hobbiests work, I would guess the tiny amount of time saved with the activator isn't an issue even if it did hold well.

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

@@timothyball3144 I don't know why they would bother. Cyanoacrylates set up fast enough for me and the security of a slightly longer cure is far more important than a quick result.

[@greglaroche1753]

Interesting, but would be better if there was more shown about the set up.

[@jadesaber99]

I didn't know you had a second channel how did the antikythera mechanism turn out

[@juliansclocks597]

Very nice work well done. I'm setting up a cutting wheel sistem in my schaublin 102 lathe. What do you think, a lever operated crosslide is better for cutting wheel then a screw one? Julian

[@djredhareaus38]

What lathe machine is that

[@titojomzvlog6203]

Amazing skill

[@unvergebeneid]

I wonder how small one could make the Antikythera mechanism with modern technology. I would definitely pay for a pocket watch-sized version! ... well, if I _had_ the money to pay for it anyway.

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

If it could be made pocket watch the sized some components would be truly tiny. I have just reviewed episode 9 of the Antikythera mechanism videos in which he makes the epicyclic pin mechanism. The smallest of those gears at this scale is only about a centimetre across.

[@theherrdark4834]

They already did it kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6GvlKF3ftWJiKM

[@gabrielletedara2662]

Awesome

[@Rolo-Tony]

Alright. but aint this a bit of a misnomer? You're using an entire mill to cut the gears, you aren't somehow cutting the gears on the lathe. You're just using the lathe as a dividing head

[@Dave5400]

Just out of curiosity, is the purple stuff another kind of engineer's blue?

[@thomasrappen5906]

I love his smooth voice, it's kind of Zen relaxing, listening and watching the videos.. I'm always flabbergasted by the 'horny' shiny metals... GREEEETZ, Chis and Team...

[@carlosbah4623]

Incredible relaxing... So perfect. ¡Gracias!

[@jetjaguarXP]

You live!

[@sklepa]

G'day Chris! Im getting impatient xD

[@phil7168]

Im so lost on this one

[@cristianvera8506]

Awesome mate 👏👌🇺🇸

[@GaminFaith]

To be honest I was a little worried that this isn’t chris posting but someone else stealing clips from him, but I haven’t seen some of these clips in his regular channel so I’m less worried.

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

Many of them come from his Patreon channel. Rest assured they afre the real thing.

[@kreasiumum]

Good of Technique

[@nobodyuknow2490]

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

[@sampathgamage861]

Beutiful... Welldone Bro..! Go Head.. 👍

[@pravado81]

Wow wow!

[@1814Custom]

Sweet..

[@leprud]

I wish i can...

[@drpipe]

🙏

[@davidjones-vx9ju]

those are not gear teeth they will not work as a gear with a another one like it

[@alexanderkusaev1066]

All abot chip maiking. To mach uneded operation.

[@leszekpaterek2389]

Wszystko super. Rozważ jednak zmianę kierunku obrotów noża. Wydaje się to nielogiczne jednak szybkość zużywania się ostrza powinna się obniżyć, przez co wytniesz więcej zębów bez pogorszenia ich kształtu. Przyda się jeszcze jeden silnik krokowy do napędu suportu tokarki, żeby proces był całkowicie automatyczny.

[@benpuig1593]

Why don't you narrate your videos anymore?

[@gearyrexwork]

grrrr... how about you give it to an actual gear cutter and see the results created? Are you satisfied with 'teeth on a round thing' or would you like a class 12 gear? I'll wait.

[@RuneHolmgren]

What is the huge thing you slapped on your lathe at 1:07? I normally love your videos, but this video was utterly pointless without explaining how you rotate the work precisely 👎
