For a closer involute cutter approximation cut the sides of the cutter with a circular insert bit to give a concave side. Nice work . well done.

[@DivinityIsPurity]

The video cut off too soon before it finished cutting likely because the last gear didn't space right with the first, he was also holding the gear in fingers to hide that flaw behind the fingers which hold it, I keep pointing out flaws in all his videos, other people just praise it obliviois to these problems. The teeth of the gear he's holding also appear inconsistant and so impractical. While the video itself presents a unique construction on diy, that's all it seems to be good at. It seems like he makes these videos for views and to get sponsorship from his jlc pcb referal, not concerned about quality or perfection.

[@gameboys248]

YEP. if you are still going to make plastic gears just use 3d printer....

[@kenengel620]

I agree that 3d printing produces excellent gears. I'd like to point out, though, that this video is showing basic construction techniques and while the final product doesn't produce quality gears I don't think it would take much to find-tune the machine code to get better results. I think time is a big consideration when making online content like this. When you're trying to publish content on a regular basis you can't always get perfection before deadline.

[@tf5pZ9H5vcAdBp]

I don't know what you're talking about man. I come here for the JLCPCB ads.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

His video description also says, "Automatic thread cutting machine" - something is NQR here haha.

[@rama3njoy]

fail teeth covered with his fingers at the end video. this is magic video

[@auxod3219]

So you just print circles to carve them into gears instead of print gear shapes from a start?

[@kenengel620]

I think he cuts the circles from sheet plastic. He makes some of the supports in other videos the same way. I think with a proper cutting wheel and some fine tuning of the machine code this could be a viable project but I think I'll stick to 3d printing my gears. 🤣

[@odw32]

I think some projects exist because the fundamental principles are awesome, regardless of whether it offers the best productive solution.

[@luminousfractal420]

He copied another guys video. The other guy was some poor guy who made it out of nothing and deserves the credit. This guy just spent 5 mins on Amazon.

[@kenengel620]

@@luminousfractal420 no idea is original.

[@mroogabooga8763]

Silly people, use metal gears

[@homieboi5352]

pretty cool, but I'd like to see how two of these gears would mesh. I have a hard time imagining they would be of much use unless the corners were rounded

[@jd-uo8hc]

First gear, quick cut away before you show the tooth misalignment where the final cut is, then using your fingers to cover up the error. Ok 13 seconds in, let's see what else you got.

[@greggv8]

A decent approximation of involute gear teeth can be done with a multi tooth cutter with straight sides. The first cut carves a straight sided slot in the center, while the two cutters to either side cut those teeth partially at a different angle due to the rotation. Rotate one tooth and cut again. Each tooth gets three facets at different angles and the gear being cut only has to make one full revolution. This process is best for gears that can be run together for a while at looser mesh with lapping compound to round off the edges between facets, then cleaned off and installed at correct running mesh with lube.

[@evilkidm93b]

Nice explanation, I could understand what you meant without a sketch!

[@droko9]

Seems like a pretty terrible tooth profile, does it mesh well with other gears?

[@clwnwrld]

^^^ this

[@FlexDRG]

Seeing as he made his own cutter blade the profile is not going to be perfect. Nor did the stepper do a good job on turning the plastic disc, or it's diameter was wrong for the amount of teeth.

[@SetKat-Alex]

Thank you!

[@ferrumignis]

@@FlexDRG It's not just "imperfect" it's literally the inverse of the shape it needs to be. He ground the cutter to look like a gear tooth profile instead of the space between the teeth. The "gears" this cutter produces are completely useless.

[@paterickcutts5601]

I think you should wiggle the parts more when you're showing them to the camera. Everyone likes that. Also turn the music up more, its not quite loud enough to distract viewers from the video.

[@RicardoKaspper]

defeitos escondidos, porem maquina bem criativa, faça os ajuste e mostre o trabalho com bom resultado

[@amirrezaheidari8041]

It would be nice if you also talk about the electronic and programming part

[@johnwalker1471]

The cutter or gear should move in an axial direction. That way the gear teeth are straight even if it is fairly thick gear.

[@justinneal4661]

You know i absolutely love this project and i got no complaints about it,. that being said, why not print the gears?

[@chopper3lw]

What a great build. Nice job. I think if you bought a commercial involute gear cutter instead of that washer you'd be able to cut much nicer gears.

[@homemadetools]

Interesting. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@Kevin-rr1nm]

Could easily see uses for using these gears as data with a simple toggle switch. Looks very similar to gears we used in rotary phone days as the way to store phone numbers for mechanical auto dialers on billboards in train stations and airports that had one button for each hotel/taxi and a phone handle. Was done by cutting teeth out of gears at certain intervals to form the number.

[@michaegi4717]

Yeah, I guess this is the most practical usage of such gears, because with this shape you can't use them as gears. ;-)

[@robinmitchell6803]

There are almost no youtubers I follow on making stuff, but you are one that I follow on every video. Your projects are fucking excellent, and I love how you focus on manufacturing machines instead of some useless IoT clock, or a pointless flashy light thing!

[@conorstewart2214]

How is this excellent? It produces gears but without a proper gear profile, probably without proper spacing so by the time you get round to the end of the gear it doesn’t line up, notice how we don’t see it cut a full gear or see a cut gear on its own, their fingers are covering part of it. They showed they have a 3D printer so it is much more precise to print a gear rather than use this method which has a fixed tooth size, a janky cutter, doesn’t cut a proper gear profile and may not even line up right. We also don’t know if you cut two of these gears if you could even mesh them together, I would guess you probably can’t, or if you do manage it, then they won’t turn well. It is just another pointless project made to farm views.

[@conorstewart2214]

Why does this person heart every comment, including the negative ones, they just be insane.

[@AndyMcGeever]

Those useless IOT clocks and pointless flashy light things are conceptual demonstrations designed to inspire imagination and foresight in those who are able to think for themselves rather than just copy other people.

[@damojfowler]

Negative comments helps with video views.

[@hi1172]

Cool!!! Do you have a link to the code or a build article?

[@DanielHJeffery]

Great build! You probably need to calibrate your steps per rotation. Maybe, get a gearbox to reduce the motion, so one step on the stepper is a smaller angle turn on the gear.

[@DanielHJeffery]

Or micro steps

[@vhateg]

A stepper does a full rotation in a whole number of steps. He most likely manually advances to the next step, so there are no "steps per rotation" to adjust.

[@MrDrvara]

Nice job,, i be watching your page for more detailed instructions but can´t find it. This is open source project ? Do you provide pcb schematics ? Regards.

[@89gnn]

i feel like there should be a thrust bearing in that design for the main lead screw.

[@shakejones]

Well done, great video! Thank you for sharing mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

[@pyalot]

This relies on the holding torque of the stepper to keep the gears rotation during a cut. Any material unevenness or cutter asymetry will throw the cut out of orientation.

[@michaegi4717]

Yeah, and for propper usage the shape of the cutting wheel is important, otherwise two gears will not fit together. I would realy like so see two of such gears working together.

[@johnwalker1471]

I use a NEMA23 with 3:1 reduction on my gear cutter. I’ve cut metal gears with out any holding issues.

[@AnOldMansView]

@@johnwalker1471 Hey John have you built this kit? If so would you have a link for it please? or do you have a link for something else? Cheers.

[@G-P_H-T]

Техничный красавчик. Молодец!

[@mbunds]

It’s a good start, but some additional work needs to be done to cut involute tooth profiles matching various modules.

[@BTW...]

The error is forgetting that the desired outcome is based on a gear ratio... not the major diameter.

[@mattw7949]

Agreed. A decent first effort, but the maker should now look into the proper shape for gear teeth. One option is to make your cutter the proper shape, and have a different cutter for each range of gear. The other option is to use a cutter with a "rack" profile and index it laterally along with the gear blank rotation. The second way lets you cut any tooth count with a single cutter.

[@charlesmenz5555]

​@@mattw7949

[@tonypham5720]

Hi, Why did u not show the details how to install the andruino and how to set up the program for the cutting?

[@fearlyenrage]

Looks nice. Did you build a tread cutting machine too?

[@nerddub]

I'm sure everyone has said this but that cutter will only work correctly with a specific range of pitches and num of teeth, but cool project, def a step above 3d printed gears in most applications.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

the low areas of the gear are going to have some weird geometry since the gear cutting blade was plunged into it instead of cut conventionally.

[@AnOldMansView]

Hey when are you releasing the kit for gear cutter?

[@elvyn2008able]

Excellent video, where i can find the material's list and all component? And the software too, please

[@guillermoadolfo5]

This is not a criticism, it's just a personal opinion. If some are bothered by negative comments, it is because they do not know how to respect freedom of expression. This channel is supposedly about technology and not entertainment. Of course, in order to gain views, everything is allowed. So don't play victims. The hulk was assembled without further ado (without technical specifications). It is not known if it works well or not. It is not known who is sponsoring the incomplete video. It is not known which Arduino or the program he used. Etc etc.

[@jamiewilliams6763]

This is an awesome proof of concept! Any chance you can share the code?

[@alimahdi5436]

Very nice work 🎉, please want a softwire for this machine

[@b03tz]

Doesn't show the last tooth being cut and keeps finger over it when showing the 'full' gear. Doesn't really seem to work that well then.

[@MarcelRobitaille]

So it cuts teeth in a 3D-printed disc? Why not just model and print the teeth directly. Also, that's not remotely close to a practical tooth shape

[@christianlouisgalang7934]

Cool, does it mesh?

[@vlastimilsmolka5229]

A very nice tool with one big flaw: the waste falls straight down onto the electronics board

Good idea! Good job.

[@luminousfractal420]

Have to say I prefer the original where that guy makes the whole machine out of nothing but scrap metal. That was impressive.

[@WiresNStuffs]

How did you calculate the depth to cut

[@RobertA-hq3vz]

The problem with stepper motors is that they have discrete steps. If you want to cut a gear at an unavailable position, you can't. You'd have to gear the stepper motor. Also, those gears look like trash.

[@BTW...]

A very fine pitch lead screw driven through a reduction gear drive might get around that limited division. Thing is... start with how many teeth you want... what ratio is desired. Yeah... tooth profile is rubbish.

[@josesouzaribeiro1897]

Você vende 1 protótipo deste pronto...?

[@friendsworld5094]

Plz tell me about that machine whose made yellow design plz bro

[@rupangchannel888]

Excellent and thank you

[@Ma_X64]

You should create an algorithm that allows you to make any tooth profile -- not only the inverse copy is your cutting wheel. And it's definitely bad idea -- mount a gear directly onto the motor shaft. These motors are not so precise and strong, so you need a reduction to increase torque and precision.

[@tanayranjan6422]

What is the name of part that is holding the 2 rods?

[@Andrew_Fernie]

The idea is good but that aint no gear.

[@oakld]

The product is not a gear. Only made for look, not really to work, I guess. gears have specific tooth shape which allows them to work. One other thing is teeth spacing - it would only work for some even number of teeth, with direct stepper motor rotation. Much finer rotation is generally required.

[@OghamTheBold]

[@tambiduraic3609]

Is it possible to do this in large scale machines with metal parts Like the real gear cutting machine

[@BTW...]

Buy a real gear hobbing machine.... not try DIY large scale machines. Minimum would be a dividing table and a milling machine. The DIY jobbie will likely kill an operator.... and produce inferior results.
