[@howardosborne8647]

Great to see more of the whole process...looking forward to the next episode👌

[@kokmil]

Me too👍👍👍

Robert, I must say, your math's skills are first rate, first rate indeed.

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Thank you. I'm not a mathematician, but I was always good at applied maths. As long as it had practical relevance, I was OK. Sadly, I was not good at pure maths. Too abstract for me.

[@Jan_Raap]

Interesting video. I am finally starting to understand it all! Thank you for the upload.

[@thomasstover6272]

Very nice video, Robert! I have used an ACME thread gauge to measure tool tip width, which works. I never thought to use a gear caliper! Your way is much better!

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Thanks for watching! I use the gear verniers very rarely, so it's nice to find a use for them to justify the room they take up - my workshop isn't very big😁. I never thought of using the ACME gauge.

[@thomasstover6272]

@@ThePottingShedWorkshop The ACME gauge only works for 14.5 deg PA..

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Yes, of course. Most of the gears I make are 14.5 deg PA as the things I work on are old. You'll notice that I'll readily switch from imperial to metric and vice versa, I was brought up with and am comfortable with both!

[@howardosborne8647]

@@ThePottingShedWorkshop I am very much the same, I switch from imperial to metric very easily as like you I was taught both systems at the same time. In my apprenticeship years the place I worked at had European and American customer contracts so we were always familiar with drawings and component specs in both systems. What it does lead to in my own workshop is me often doing a quick sketch of a component with some dimensions in imperial and some in metric on the same sheet. I choose whichever is most convenient for any particular operation.

Just found your channel. Very nice work with the design and build of the attachments needed to complete gear cutting. I am in the process of building a hybrid mill (Harrison with a Beaver head) I have hade to recon far more parts than anticipated but the result should be good. I will need to get a spur gear replaced would you be interested in making one for me as you seem to be very knowledgeable in this subject? Regards Jon

muy buen trabajo, felicitaciones, espero con ansias la siguente parte del video

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Thank you for watching! The next part will be out next week.

@@ThePottingShedWorkshop Gracias

[@northernmetalworker]

I am going to see if i am able to do this with a veryical shaper/slotter, as it has a rotating table already.

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

No reason why not! Good luck with it. My mill is too small to have a slotter option, hence I have the shaper.

[@MatthewTinker-au-pont-blanc]

Thank you for another interesting video!

[@col2lin]

I see that you joined KZbin a while back - I take it other things got in the way. Are we going to see more of you?

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

I'll try to produce more videos but I'm going to try and show things I haven't seen elsewhere, rather than reproduce what others have done. I have an interesting lathe to show and also thought about doing a series on tool sharpening on a tool and cutter grinder, in more depth than I have seen before. I hope these will generate as much interest as the gear cutting attachment.
