[@cgoodwin2875]

Many thanks for that, previously I was frightened of making gears without knowing why but now I am frightened of making gears for a good reason. Knowledge is so liberating.

[@andyb4236]

c goodwin 😂 this is perfect. 👌🏻

[@ikernickolas6940]

dunno if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of months :)

[@jammin60psd]

I'm just here to relike a video I barely understood yesterday.

[@creamofbotulismsoup9900]

LOL, same...

[@mxcollin95]

And same here! Tony you’re a way better teacher than the “Machinists Handbook.” No offense to the “good book.”

[@motopreserve]

"Machinists, a long time ago, realized counting was for suckers..." Sounds even funnier with the new audio!

[@Eluderatnight]

I think its that they realized 99% of their processing power goes to avoiding being eaten by the machines.

[@Eluderatnight]

See MIT machine shop video #1

[@motopreserve]

@@Eluderatnight I'd say that's about where I net out....spend my time keeping my fingers attached, not counting on them! :)

[@ClownWhisper]

I literally came within a couple of millimeters of amputating two of my fingers off from a very thin turning of 304 stainless. I still can't feel either finger and it's been 6 months. I had my long handle hook Bill needle nose pliers in my hand I was thinking I was safe when all of a sudden an uncontrolled curl came down and was just about to wrap itself up in my aprons longitudinal wheel. I didn't even think, I just swatted it with my left hand to keep it away from wrapping up in the wheel! It was merely a split second operation but the very second that turning decided to get caught up on the jaws of my chuck in reel itself in, slicing right down to the bone and halfway through the bones on my ring finger and middle finger of my left hand. It did not feel like a cut at all. It felt like someone had taken my hand set it on a vice or in anvil and smacked it with a small sledgehammer. Yank the skin off my fingers like a glove! Luckily they were still attached by the top of my hand and it slid back down over the phone so I was able to push the skin down squeeze it with a towel and wrap it with the last clean towel in my hole shot. I was shaking so bad I could hardly walk! I was unable to dial my phone and luckily my instant messenger was open with my right hand I tapped on the phone are you trying to call my girlfriend on instant messenger which I never do and I didn't really even expect her to answer but she did? I told her what happened and they said I got to go I'm going to pass out and she had the paramedics here in a couple of minutes. The goddamn cops were here it made me unwrap my hand which was the most painful thing I ever had to do in my life. I'm on painkillers for chronic pain so much so that they don't even affect me as far as my reflexes or cognitive ability open on them for very very very long time and I can't even feel them other than the relief that they give my lower back knees and hips. (I worked construction for many years) at any rate I have what is known as hyperalgesia that means I'm enormously sensitive to any stimulus that causes pain. It had precise my pain to a degree the can I really be calculated but it is significant. For example when I get a tooth pulled it makes me want to pass out from the pain and there's nothing they can do about it. They can numb it out with 10 shots and I can still feel it full on! The moral of the story is always expect to be maimed. If you always expect that it will most likely happen your odds are greatly reduced because you'll be going to what others might think of is ridiculous lengths to be careful in all operations. But even though like I said who would have thought that just flicking away tiny chip would have caused this. To be honest that you wasn't even sure or didn't say it was attached to the work any longer. It was so fast I didn't even have time to think about it. I totally innocuous thing like that can cause mutilation it half a blink of an eye!

[@headcheesefry]

@@ClownWhisper I keep super glue next to my tool bucket for stuff like that. A little dab on a piece of paper and lay it on the closed and lined up cut. Maybe a little tape on top to immobilize it.

[@bendingsands87]

Just so you know Tony, you may think other people do better/go into more detail explaining than you do, but the way you do it is entertaining as well as informative. I remember your videos more than I do the others. If anything, your videos are often what gets me interested in a subject or idea in the first place. They often leads me down a rabbit hole of more detailed information. Those more detailed people should thank you😊

[@sazquach]

I liked the first version better. The content was far more interesting

[@PhilippePeirsegaele]

I thought the audio was outside the scope of this video?

[@askquestionstrythings]

exactly what I was thinking when I saw 2x better audio reupload

With a bit of probing, you can get the audio on the 'scope ;-)

Tony, my man, you can't keep apologizing for making long and informative videos. The people that appreciate your videos are the ones that love the long videos that suck them in and make half an hour pass in a few minutes

[@Hunter271828]

TOT, I'm so excited about this MiniLathe series!! Can't wait to see the CNC conversion take place. Thanks for getting me interested in machining over the last year. My wife even likes watching some of your videos with me. When she asked why I needed to buy a lathe so badly I just said, "I could someday end up as cool as This Old Tony" and she understood.

[@Artichoke4Head]

"This Old Tony" re-upload worth re-watching!

[@bondfrenchbond]

"Wow! Tony really pumps these vids out!"

[@OldTrekkie23]

I would think, "...grinds these vids..." Would be more accurate

[@danielfadera9421]

Well since the court order he’s not aloud to pump any thing el.... never mind

[@davydmir6565]

You know what really grinds my gears.....having to think of another witty comment...:)

[@TC-bz9dz]

I don't know why but at 7:07 .... laughed until I cried..." it's always been a big hit for me at parties" I love old Tony! He always makes me laugh while learning new things...he is like the teacher in school you wished you could have had but instead got an old grouch!! Tony is the best on KZbin!!!!!! Had to come back and edit.....i laughed even harder at the Module 1 rack....Miss Monroe.....Thanks Old Tony for putting a smile on my face today!!! I needed that!!!!

Except that "Miss Monroe" is Mamie Van Doren.

[@scottbrooks2351]

thats where I cracked up as well

[@coxyofnewp]

I found your Ch by mistake a couple weeks back, since then I been watching 10-15 of your vids daily to catch up.. You remind me so much of my dad ( who also loved his tools and making everything and anything he could..) I just wanted to thank you for such AMAZING content and you've given me the motivation to get a shed built and started kitting it out with tools,mainly all my dads tools,but also looking to buy a Lathe.. Keep up the amazing work !!

[@sholeboy]

Binge watching TOT !!! Extraordinary professional!!! Sense of humour, scientifically backed up research and comments , skills through the roof, pleasant voice tone . Dude you got it all , God Bless , and please keep going as long as you can . You and people like you are reason I still have faith in humanity!!!

[@AmaroqStarwind]

I want to see more types of gears now. Not just circular gears, but sliding gears, helical cut gears, intersecting gears, compound gears, gears within gears, weirdly shaped gears, etc...

[@GerbertGerbert]

Congrats on making boring stuff interesting. That's a compliment, I am bad at them.

[@OldtimeIronman]

Im watching ToT instead of the Super Bowel

[@ThisOldTony]

that's a typo I hope:)

[@OldtimeIronman]

Nope, its an expression of my opinion regarding TV. Your channel is much higher quality, its the reason why I watch KZbin nowdays instead.

[@Bl4ckw0lf1]

I'm the second one to admit that.

[@backwardsmachining7526]

This old tony... You make this look a lot easier then it is. I'm still working on my first good gear lol.

[@wastedwizard5112]

Love the work and effort you put into this channel, always a blast ❤️

[@MechanicalRhino]

Yaj a new video from this old Tony... wait I have watched the video already yesterday. Love your Videos Tony, I hope one day i have enough space and money to buy my own milling machine and lathe. But in the meantime I can comfort myself with your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ProtoLancer]

Having worked for a major gear cutting machine manufacturer I have to say this is one of the best videos I've seen produced for the newbie to understand how gears are cut.

[@goodgirl99us]

I watched the first audio was a little quiet but fine for me

[@goodgirl99us]

But I'll watch it again...lol

Nothing grinds my gears like a reupload.

[@ColdCoffee122]

Stanton High well at least now you know why your gears grind.

[@ScottMiller_LRSafari]

Superbly educational, and funny. Moves me one (big) step closer to getting another CNC mill, and finally a lathe (to be CNCd)

Thank you for this. This helped me better understand the mechanisms used by Chris from Clickspring

[@rockdog2584]

I gotta keep watching these videos. I find myself learning all kinds of useful stuff.

I've come here to deliver a second like, the click with better audio.

[@gravizt]

Absolutely fantastic video! Super informative. I'm really looking forward to the next two

[@mystamo]

I watched it again.. Even though I heard it perfectly the first time.. That's just how much I love you Tone.

[@CASh193]

i wish i had gotten all this great info 6 years ago! its taken at least that long to self-understand all of these things you got into a 30 min vid! Thanks for a condensed refresher and better clarity of some of the whys things are the way they are!

[@ThisOldTony]

thanks Charlie!

[@akaHarvesteR]

That was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. I've made gears before (3d printed), but didn't really understand the relationships between the teeth geometry and the size of the gears. My latest attempt resulted in a 'crunchy' feel with the meshing, and now I know why! I had changed the radius of one gear, but didn't alter the involute profile on its teeth. That means the contact surface wasn't consistent, and so, it feels crunchy. Thanks for the excellent learning material! Cheers

[@0dan56]

Tony, Thanks for taking time to do these videos. They are funny as all get out, and actually informative. They remind me of the work I've done in the past. (Retired now) I did see the video where you showed your face. Somewhere somebody speculated you are from Canada, which fills the mystery how you can speak inch and metric. Your English is flawless I must say. O'dan

[@leerogers6423]

I just shared this with the Drummond lathes group. Gears for our 100+ year old lathes are difficult and expensive to come by . You've answered a lot of the questions that come up regularly so I hope this will encourage people to give gear making a try. Thanks

[@ThisOldTony]

thanks Lee!

[@jimcatan703]

Spacely made sprockets, Cogswell made cogs. As always I’m amazed at how creatively you can explain such dull and heavy topics and make them fun. Always a pleasure.

[@MRCNC1967]

Tony, this is one of the most comprehensive gear tutorials I have seen, thank you. On a related note, have you considered fabricating a stand-alone CNC dividing / indexing head for your mill, something you can actuate with the push of a button or trip switch on the table travel? That would be something I know people would be willing to pay for.

[@renatotuche]

Day by day, i love more your videos!

[@fwoopie2635]

I have no idea what you're talking about. But your so god damn interesting and fun to watch, I ended up watching the whole video. Your way of explaining and little sprinkles of comedy just make the video so enjoyable.

[@mertonsilliker3686]

Thanks for the lesson, i may watch a few more times as the lights were on but some of the gears were not clicking. You making your lessons a pleasure, thanks

[@baseradius3907]

I would love to see the new videos where you teach us how to make gears out of only the lathe.. totally looking forward to it! Thanks dude!

[@Rickus23]

I didn't even notice that there was a problem yesterday! But I'll have to watch this all the way through or I'll think I've missed one of your videos

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Big like. I remember getting comfy with an indexing head in school. Drove me nuts till the light came on, LOL.Thanks for a walk in the past Tony.

[@seabeepirate]

Dear Old Tony, I’m still patiently waiting for the follow up videos about making gear cutters and gears with the mini-lathe... unless I missed it. I better go watch every video since this one just to be on the safe side.

[@josephdevita6181]

Love your videos! It’s a great way to slip into an afternoon nap after work

[@outputcoupler7819]

Looking forward to the CNC conversion. I converted my mini mill a few years ago, and have been very satisfied with the results. I've been eyeing up my 9x20 for the same treatment, but I need to fix the cross slide first. The guy who owned it before me replaced the gib with a piece of flat brass for some reason.

[@Ricker94ae]

Absolutely jealous of that forth axis....very nice Tony!

[@flashchrome]

Ohh man, now I want to watch a movie with Egyptian Pyramid Lazers...

[@fpvgtking]

This needs to be taught in primary school, not that colouring-in stuff

[@danl.4743]

Or in the college's safe zone room after election.

[@terrysanders2817]

Quite informative. Great sense of humor. May your tribe multiply!

[@LordPhobos6502]

Wondering if we'll get to see that follow-up on how to gears on a mini lathe? Keen to see that! :)

[@AsiAzzy]

Nice. Another take on this is having a straight V tooth (like a rack, or an actual piece or a rack with several teeth), mounted as a cutter on the shaper machine and have the rack move ever so slightly as the blank is rotated ever so slightly - this the complicated part (but there are shaper attachments for cutting gears). And since the rack does not have infinite teeth, it would have to be reseted every 2-5 teeth depending on modulus and length of the rack used. It can be done but nowadays that rack in form a spiral forms a hob and meshing a precise gear ratio between the hob and the blank and let it run and move the piece or the hob side to side from time to time to make a cylindrical gear and not a globoidal gear. Also the hob must be angled to its helix angle to cut straight teeth. Hobbing helical gears is another can of worms.

[@mikekrening7327]

Hi Tony, looking forward to the next two videos! Please explain how to choose an involute cutter, even if you don't use them on your next video. Great subject!

[@electronkaleidoscope5860]

Oh dear, I suppose I'll have to re-watch it then too. What a trraaaggeeedy

[@tommysmith8801]

I look forward to the next videos mentioned. Ive got a light duty 3 axis machibe at the house. Cant wait for accounting to approve the budget proposal for a heavy duty conversion. Last i asked accounting told me "some day"

[@davidcook5994]

I love your videos and sense of humour.

[@onemanriflemaker3873]

To much lathe based time travel has resulted on huge amounts of TOT radiation being emitted from the KZbin black hole. This feels like a TOT time loop. Now I’m wondering how many times I have seen this video before. That’s the problem with mini lathes they just can’t support the paradox!

[@cwadub]

Super helpful looking forward to seeing the new ones...

[@johnowen8032]

Old tony Videos are great ..funny well put together excel to watch.i done abit of lathe work when i was a training.and now i have a clarke 500 lathe mill machine to play with i wish i paid more attention to this then. Your videos make enjoyable view and you always take away something . Welldone tony love to meet you in person too.would be great to see you work as looks so effortless. Regards john

Ok... you hooked me, I will watch it again :P Seriously, because I have nothing better to do and I enjoyed this the first time :D And I get to give you a well deserved two thumbs up!!!

[@DudleyToolwright]

Nice job explaining a tough subject. It can easily get very confusing, but you broke it down nicely with the signature word play. One more thing, if strength is not an issue, you could switch the module of big and small gear of one set to get a higher tooth count in a smaller diameter gear and still make them fit. Just a Thought and always a pleasure.

[@andrewculverhouse8914]

Is it wrong that I already watched the other upload, but am still excited to watch this one?

[@ROBRENZ]

Excellent treatise on indexing, gears and involutes. I would have included the involute base circle diameter is the cos of the pressure angle x the pitch diameter, but lets not nitpick ;-). Insanely entertaining and educational at the same time. ATB, Robin

[@paridegnesotto8466]

This old Tony has us take the concept of "watching a video on a complex subject twice" to a whole new level

[@jasond4752]

Can you please make a video like this about cutting splines? I want to make custom length CV axles but I can't find any videos that explain all the technical details. I have so many questions like are there different tooth profiles (metric/standard), are there different tooth depths, do things vary depending on the shaft diameter, are there sets of cutters (like gear cutters) that you can buy to do spline cutting? Are axle splines different than splines used on transmission shafts or are they the same? Thanks for all your videos, you are an excellent teacher!

[@TorkahPC]

i didnt even notice the audio the first time. I was excited for more gears :(

[@mattknight142]

Can’t wait for the gear cutting on the mini lathe only video!!!

[@hodgepodgeenginerd1258]

[@siniorgolazo]

Are you saying that I can hear that ASMR of a voice that you have TWICE? Sign me in!

[@lucabaldassi6024]

This is all wrong, you make gears with a file and a wood vice covered in leather. Clickspring said that

[@askquestionstrythings]

Clickspring is out of the scope of this video

[@stanleydenning]

I have tried that...... :-(

[@andersjjensen]

Clickspring is going complete space cookie with the Antikythera mechanism, and I love it. However, if there is anyone who actually *could* make involuted gear teeth with nothing but a home made hand file and a wood vice covered in leather, it would probably be him :P

[@Aubreykun]

I thought you were supposed to use a bandsaw, plywood and green paint!

[@andersjjensen]

@@Aubreykun I kinda feel bad for getting that reference too :P
