[@boelwerkr]

Fun fact: The Modul - System is directly copied from the DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm => German Industrial Norm) The Z means "Zähne" => teeth The DIN was developed to join together the German Production more tightly and make parts and tooling interchangeable. (why have BFS,UNF,UNC,NPT, BSP, JIS,SAE and what not bolts if you simply could use DIN-bolts) But also to make the German machine parts and tools useless to the enemies by making everything a little bit different. But the Prussians where to damn efficient. ;-) French and other started to copy the norms and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) was established. Many DI-Norms where directly copied to ISO.

[@boelwerkr]

@@nivram6092 You are right an wrong. First DIN was the shorthand for "Deutsche Industrie Norm" as seen in "DI-Norm 1" and the organization was called "Normenausschuss der deutschen Industrie". It was renamed multiple times. In the end it was decided to use the abbreviation DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) as Name. (and all Norms now are called DIN-Norm) But at the time the ISO was established DIN was standing for "Deutsche Industrie Norm"

Tony, as all your videos are, this one was excellently produced and remarkably informative. With as much humility as is possible in a comment about how much I know, I would say I have a fairly deep knowledge base and understanding of machining for someone who like yourself is not a professional machinist. However the relationships of diametral pitch, cutter sets, and the other various technicalities of gear machining were one of those topics that I generally understood, but wouldn’t have said I was clear enough on to be comfortable trying to explain it. Like you do with every subject, you made this incredibly complex subject very easy to get one’s head around and allowed it to finally “click” for me. I even wished you had gone ahead into the topic of pressure angles because I’m sure you would have made that subject much more comprehensible as well. I don’t know what trade your day job is, but you are an EXCELLENT teacher! I sincerely thank you for all of the time and effort you put into producing your videos and publishing them so graciously for all of us. Not only are they valuable as a learning resource, your razor sharp wit and perfectly precise timing with humor make your videos probably my favorite content to watch of any media! Great job! And by the way, this video was not too long at all in my opinion. I would happily watch any video you put out of twice this length and still not feel it was too much!

Back in the late '80s, if I had Old Tony, Clickspring, and Matthias Wandel when I did Design and Realization (aka Shop, in both wood, and metal; you were given a brief, and not only had you had to draw a design around it using a drawing board with a parallel motion, etc, but then you had to build the said thing off of your own drawings ...), I would have learnt, and retained, way more; but watching all three, plus Abom '79, Stefan, and many others, have jogged memories of almost 30 years ago ... I wish I could get into being a machinist, but due to space and budget (but mostly space ...), the closest I can get to is a Sherline lathe and mill. I am eyeing upgrades for both, but, if I want to go all in, I am guessing on around $8k+ for both, inclusive of enabled manual and CNC operations ...

We never even got to a use a square collet block at my trade school. Suffice it to say, any dividing head, spindexing stuff is on the job learning for me.

[@paulhunt598]

Old Tony, Thank you for the gear tooth tutorial. I spent a career repairing and maintaining machine shop machinery. We were primarily a milling, turning, Blanchard grinding and cylindrical grinding shop, but we did our own gear machining. We just machined spur gears, but we machined straight and helical gears. When I started, we hobbed on Barber Coleman's and shaped on a Fellows. We moved on to CNC hobbing and then to grinding our precision gears. Our hobbing machine was a Pfauter and our grinder was a Gleason. Gleason is far better known automotive gear machining, but they wanted into the spur gear market in the 1990's. They acquired Pfauter and had Okomoto make their grinding machines. This relationship had me make multiple trips to the Gleason plant in NY. So I repaired and maintained gear making machinery, but I was never trained as a machinist. I am an electrician/mechanic. Your gear tutorial was just the ticket for a retired repairman who is now trying to be a hobby machinist. I recently purchased my first super spacer, but haven't used it yet... But it did give me a legitimate excuse to purchase a set of 5C collets.

[@martinwalters1954]

6:04 the eagle sound just make me spit a bit of tea on my desk :D

[@discerningx3375]

Tony, your ability to deliver 5 or more semi complex ideas in plain language in a manner that is contiguous such that even I can follow along. Well, bravo🍻

[@practicalhands3720]

This old tony doing what he does best, GOING OFF IN TANGENTS

[@Galerak1]

I'm afraid I must disagree with you, your videos are never too long. Too short maybe but never too long xD

[@spudpud-T67]

Not only too short, but metric.

[@Galerak1]

@@spudpud-T67 Metric's ok, I can cope with metric. It just means he's finally catching up with the rest of the world using base 10 ;)

spud pud that’s what she said

It surprised me how quickly your channel took over 1st place on my "must watch every video this guy's made" list!

[@jeffmarden9502]

This video is what the internet was made for! Love the content. Love the humor. And love the way things are explained. Don't ever worry about "insulting [our] intelligence". Not everyone is in the same place intellectually and experience-wise. Keep-'em coming!

This is one of the most hilarious engineering channel on KZbin!!!

[@roadshowautosports]

I’m always impressed on how a machinist, who’s not required to have an engineering degree to perform your function, can be creative nowadays but, even more impressed I am with the machinists way back in time when there were no examples nor it had been done before professionals to show the way but, beyond our imagination, THEY MADE IT!!! Imagine watching those hits, without cnc, no electricity for smaller machines muscle operated, no special tools/holders what they had to make it instead, and no Amazon/eBay/KZbin/etc!!!! Totally amazing!!!!! Thank you for your very detailed explanations!!!!!!!

[@thatguy0725]

I just wondered upon this channel” Aztecs chased away the alien with laser pyramid things”, freakin Awesome”, I’m here to stay. Your great!!

[@JonDingle]

Those Flintstone prehistoric gears can be found in every drill, clock, grinder, printer, food mixer, concrete mixer, rotavator, tractor, lawn mower and anything else that has gear that is made in China! They even made of the same material!

[@johnstejskal6084]

They're trailer winch gears...

[@barebrickbuilds]

Fun fact the “eagle” sound is actually a hawk Eagles chirp.

[@nyarhy5236]

It’s been 25 years since I graduated from comprehensive School and this video brought back all the math in such a practical way I think parts of my skull blew out! This is an extremely useful video. Even if the gears didn’t fit. Mine finally did! 😁

[@DITH85]

Incredibly informative, I do really enjoy the way you devlier complex information in an almost universally intelligibile way. That's some talent!

[@TheOneAndOnlyCrawl]

Don't know why but this was recommended to me by the algorithm and I'm thankful it did. Realy like your style. +1sub.

[@gamerpaddy]

11:32 he's got two number 9, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra teeth, a number 7, two number 45's one made of carbide and a large holder to fit them all.

[@DreitTheDarkDragon]

I wasn't expecting that...but it somehow fits

[@BOBMAN1980]

It is Christmas Day in 2020. This video--and the knowledge it contains--is one of the best presents I received today. And that's not a bad thing!

[@martinwalters1954]

Wow. I'm not a machinist but I learned more from this video than any I've seen in a year.
