Mr Pete I have enjoyed watching about all your videos .I have learned so much from, them. we are about the same age. I wish had you as my teacher you are so good at teaching

[@mrpete222]

Wow, thanks

Thank You Mr. Pete. I enjoy watch your videos and I chuckle at your sense of humor. Thank You Again. Your the best shop teacher.

[@PracticallyMint]

Mr. Pete, thanks for this series. I don’t have a dividing head in my shop (yet), but this gives me some great ideas for modifying your indexing device to fit my Sheldon lathes and my Burke horizontal mill. Now all I need is to learn how to cut worm drives and I’ll be cooking on coal!

[@mrpete222]

[@russdavis1960]

Those gears came out nicely!!!

[@johnalexander4356]

I remember watching my grandpa cut gears on a very old, open frame, flat belt drive lathe. That was about 50 years ago. It ran on a line shaft along with most of the other machines in his shop. Those are great memories and I do appreciate you reviving those great old memories of working with him as a boy. He taught me so much!

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@billstoner5559]

Excellent conclusion to your gear cutting jig/fixture project! 👍🏻😊

[@mattholden5]

Direct indexing for the win! This series gives me a new appreciation for what I can do with my lathe. Thanks, Mr Pete!

[@mrpete222]

Glad to help

[@Randysshop]

Well done Mr Pete. Thanks for showing us how it is done.

[@paulsto6516]

Thank you Mr Pete. That was a good watch.

[@raywilson9450]

Thanks to Mr Pete, I just learned how to do something I will never do! But how better to spend an early Sunday morning. Cheers! Well done.

[@erikclausen4780]

Thank you for showing Mr. Pete I am going to make gear cutting fixture will come in handy in the shop.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@duron700r]

Very much enjoyed this series. You talk about the depth of cut which is obviously essential yet it transfers to other shop projects as well. THAT was something I was missing desperately and didn't realize it. You help spur other thoughts for shop work directly and indirectly. Thank you!

[@mrpete222]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@troykidd3232]

Very interesting and informative as usual mr Pete 👍

[@lroyson]

This made me want to make stuff to cut gears even though I don't need to. Thanks for the info. It was very interesting.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@markstone6368]

I am looking forward to making one of these for my 6" Atlas. The result is beautiful. The setup looks very easy to do and might be quicker than setting things up in a mill. MJ

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@vincentklotz5849]

Thee most explanatory video yet that I have seen that you make! My skill is nowhere near to attempt this procedure but I praise you for making the video!

[@frankward709]

Excellent little attachment thanks for the video

[@jayminor9757]

Brilliant! My dear old Atlas 10F could use a few new gears and although I do have a new and bigger lathe, a couple of small vertical mills and a small rotary table, the idea of it making them itself just really appeals to me. Thanks Mr. Pete. You never fail to provide us home shop guys, and girls, with relevant and very useful content. Regarding your comment about the dials on the milling attachment being made for 12 year old boys; It would be great if the 12 year old boys of today had the patience and attention span to do this type of stuff. I think that few do.

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@MyHeap]

Hi Mr. Pete. While I know most people will not make this attachment if they have other means of producing a gear I think the series was of great value to the lathe only shop and to the beginning home hobbyist. . I found it educational, enlightening and entertaining. I for for one am very pleased you made the series. Thank you so much for doing so. Joe

[@garthbutton699]

Great series,thanks for all you do for the community🤗😎🤗😎

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching!

[@llapmsp]

This video is awesome. Everything turned out well. Thanks for doing what you do. Wish I had you for my shop teacher.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks so much!

[@markpack4494]

Wow, that did a good job, so much prep time making the fixture and cutting the gears. Thank You for the video..

[@mrpete222]

Yes, I put weeks into this project, lol

[@markosborne2650]

Best video I've seen on making gears, Thank You.

[@mrpete222]

Wow, thanks!

[@alander6734]

Lyle Enjoyed the series , informative and entertaining. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this series and we'll as your other production . Cutting it on the Craftsman is a plus. I have always liked the shape of the 12 inch head and tail stock.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

Thank you so much, sir, for sharing your knowledge with everyone who watches KZbin.

[@mrpete222]

So nice of you

[@67L-88]

I am glad that it worked so well. I enjoyed the whole series of videos from making the attachment to making the gears. So thank you for showing us and sharing your skills!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks again!

[@mrbbonkers]

It may surprise you to hear this, but I am making this attachment; not for my lathe but to use on my tiny hobby milling machine, which is just too small to fit a real dividing head on. Thanks for the great video as always!

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@67L-88]

Atlas made a similar version of this for the milling machine. It had a headstock that used the gear like this setup and it had a tailstock with a center. They also made a version for the shaper but that is quite uncommon.

[@timmienorrie]

That is astonishing quality. No expensive, cumbersome dividing head and a perfect result. Thank you, this was great.

[@mrpete222]

Glad you liked it!

[@cleophusA]

Entertaining and informative as always Mr. Pete!

[@hacc220able]

Beautiful gear -thanks for sharing your skills with us.

[@100yojimbo]

Wow that worked out perfectly 😁👍👍 great conclusion to the project well done Mrpete 👍👍♥️

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That shows the unlimited possibilities of imagination. Of course their is a limited range of gear sizes that can be cut with that attachment which could be why it was not a popular product. .Still it is a low cost way to get the gears it will cut. For someone who does not have a better type of machine it is well worth making in my humble opinion. Of course MrPete showed me better ways to make gears years ago. And that is something I will always be grateful for. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

That gear turned out a lot better than I was expecting and really re-enforced for me how versatile a Lathe can be if you have the right tooling.

I always enjoy Mr. Pete's videos. They always lift my spirits, and are filled with small tips. The screw driver hole was genius.

Absolutely love it . I know the long process to get there and it is so satisfying to see the end product!! Thanks for all you do !!! Your teachings will last until God ends time here on earth . God Bless. I will watch this 8 video journey several times even after I use you methods !!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks so much!

[@Shultheiss]

I learn so much from you. Thanks.

[@chuckmayerchak3071]

As a builder of the gear cutting attachment, I very much enjoyed the video. I never did try it and since bought a mill. I was very impressed at the quality of the finished gear. This was in my opinion one of your best actual machining videos of late. Thanks for taking the time to make the tool and actually cutting gears with it.

[@mrpete222]

Glad you enjoyed it

You sir are an excellent teacher.

That was very interesting. Thanks for showing how useful a good lathe can be. Basically you are still a teacher with an even larger classroom and a lot more students. Please do the follow up on the shafts and gears.

[@hirsutusi5536]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@edwickyates5374]

I will add this to another one of my favorite how-to videos. This rookie machinest is learning a lot from you. Thank you!

[@mrpete222]

Great to hear!

[@PrairieTraveler]

Thank you Mr Pete I wondered how you would control the gear pitch diameter from your earlier video when you were making the indexing attachment. I had it pictured in my mind as fitting in a square indexing tool post on the compound rest.. The mystery is solved. Always enjoy your channel.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Totally entertaining as always!!!!!!!

[@Radiotexas]

Neat! I need to try this on my Atlas horizontal mill.

[@emerycreek8016]

Great job! A good looking gear and done on a lathe. That old gear didn't look nearly as bad to me until you compared it with the new one.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks 👍

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great video. Excellent explanation of work. Great setup. Thank you for sharing.

[@samshublom8761]

Thanks for another great video.

[@bigcathornworks5802]

I watched the whole process from the making of the fixture to cutting the gears. I really enjoyed that series. I suppose if a fella only had the atlas lathe with the milling attachment and didn’t have a milling machine then it would definitely get you there. A little more messin around but effective. Great stuff Mr Pete.

[@qzwqsy]

Thanks Teaching me more great ways to use my tools.

[@mrpete222]

Happy to help

[@billchiasson2019]

Great series! Very educational and interesting! Thanks for doing these!

[@fixitmakeit]

Appreciate the time you invest in these projects, the end product looks "factory fresh" .

[@jodydoakes8754]

Great video series. Even a non-machinist like me finds it very interesting and informative. Thanks for all of your efforts.

[@jimmunger8658]

“Louder than a combine” I laughed out loud at that one. Great video and very impressive outcome. Enjoyed this series a great deal. I was wondering if you have plans to go to the Midwest Tool Collectors swap meet in March at McCormicks Creek park in Spencer Indiana. If you are I’d differently would’ve be going also to get a chance to meet you. Thanks for this series it is great.

[@mrpete222]

I have no plans at this time, but I heard Keith mention it

[@stevenpressley5956]

That turned out awesome. Would love to see a follow up of the completed gear set.

[@rickhand8228]

Great video! Your videos are very well organized and narrated. I especially like that you made the indexing attachment then put it to use!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much!

[@kitmaira]

I’ve been waiting for this series for so long. I actually purchased the milling attachment years ago for this exact procedure, making the nearly unobtainable change gears for my South Bend 405. In the interim I ended up buying them one by one, at great expense, and am now only missing a few. I’m not sure if I will ever make this project, but watching the trouble you went through to do it, successfully, was interesting and eye opening. Thank you for doing this. Entertaining and educational!

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@OldSneelock]

Fascinating series. If this were to be the only time you used it the setup would be a worthwhile project just to have the gear you needed. Since for most of us once we have a tool, or fixture we find other things possible that we didn't realize until the opportunity presented itself. Before I had a lathe at home I cobbled things from hardware store comoonents. Not sure if I will make one of these My milling attachment is homemade from angle iron so rigidity is iffy at best. Still if I were to attempt it I will have the ability to make gears at least as accurate as the old junkers that i am currently using. 😁 I like your setup with the part passing under the cutter for several reasons. Some you mentioned and the extra rigidity in the setup. As the milling vise is raised all the lash in the setup is increased along with the leverage of the cutting forces. In my 1946 SB the bed is so worn I have to turn anything I want straight for over an inch on the tailstock end of the lathe. As far from the chuck as possible. I also have to lock down the cross slide so it doesn't rattle while facing. Most of my work is farmer level fixes so I get along with it. Paul Pushee was my Tool Maker at UTC up until he retired in 1985. He was old school and taught me a lot. He said that on the old SB 13 that was the tool room lathe he used he had learned when to lean on the machine to get a true diameter shaft. After 30+ years I can lean on my SB and turn pretty close to straight. 😁😎

[@German_MDS]

That worked like a charm! I really enjoyed de series Mr. Pete! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@SamGlasser]

First video I have seen where the operator actually cut a gear on a lathe.. Thank you for not running back and forth to your mill to do different functions. When you only have a lathe, it is nice to see how gears are made completely on a lathe... Thank you!

[@mrpete222]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@danielgraf8294]

Great video!

[@lecnac855]

Excellent as usual.

[@paulpipitone8357]

When you first talked about this project i was thinking that could work okay. but it worked a lot better then i thought.. to bad they never made them in production. it would be fun hunting them down and making a gear or two.

[@leeroyholloway4277]

I hope there's a follow up with a test run of the reverse tumbler. Maybe stick the old parts on for a before/after demo. But I'm sure this series has been finalized and in the can for a few weeks. At any rate, this whole process was edutaining. 🙂
