How To Fix A Gear For My Emco Maximat V10 Mill Head

Thanks for showing how you removed the gear selector levers and the motor / top of the mill head. Your video will help me to remove mine so that I can check inside and make sure that all the old grease is removed.

[@mikmerl1]

I liked your video very much most educational. I always thought that oil was used in the milling head. Is that graphite grease?

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

no, it's molybdenum grease. you can get it at the local hardware store. and yes, you're right, some milling heads have oil, depending on the make/model. thanks for watching

[@richarddeleon9284]

Hi chris thanks for a very nice video. I' just go my mill, a drill chuck is in place but I know you use a collet on some of your videos. Do you have a video on how the chuck and collet is removed. Thanks.

Hey did you steal my machine, lol nice to see another video of these as not many others out here .

[@bandage9]

How long did the gear last? I 3d printed several and they only lasted about 5 minutes. Tried with nylon, petg and abs. printed gears are out. Just trying to figure out if cutting an aluminum one would be a better option.

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

I'm still using it 2022

[@4shellma]

hi. how do you have an indexing head fixed vertically? i can only fix horizontally. thanks for disclosing, that i was supposed to take off the gearbox leavers before i took the gearbox apart last weekend !!!)

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

It's just the way my dividing head is configured. but you can get an angle bracket and bolt it to that. that should work. good luck with your project.

[@johnnymogensen8080]

Was it a 24 teeth gear? Module 1,5?

[@lamprosxatziantonakis6851]

I have the same miling masine emcomat 7 please write me the exact type of grease to buy it and how much should I put in? I put oil along with the grease; thanks

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

I have a better idea. If you go to groups.io and search for emco lathes and join that group they have all sort of information you could be looking for in their archives. I have found it to be an invaluable resource.

good job ! i need a dividing head . i m searching :/

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

I have the same machine my gears actually broke. I found a machine shop that was going to cut brass gears. I forgot about them till 6 months later. When I went back he had passed away and my gears were lost. What would you charge to make both plastic gears out of brass ? I would love to get it operational again

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

It's not even so much how much I'd charge, but I'm right in the middle of a massive renovation project that will most likely take me to the end of the year. However, if you email me around Christmas time I might be able to do something. Email me at eigenheerc at hot mail dot com

[@jerrypeal653]

Nice work I have basically the same machine what’s your DRO , info ??

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

3axis dro on Ebay for CAD$450 from China. Glad scales. That's all I can find in my purchase history. Hope this helps.

[@040506ramy]

hi nice job I have the same machine and there is a problem in a lot of noise can you help me. pls

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

not sure I can help only by knowing there's a lot of noise. I'd need more info.

[@mrhans5211]

Shouldn't be oil inside the gearbox?

[@ElectricEvan]

The lathe gearbox uses oil the milling head uses grease.

[@bradley3373]

Please can you assist by letting me know where I can purchase gear selecting arms for this lathe. Thanking you in advance.

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

I don't know but i would recommend joining the "emco larger lathes" group. Its on the .io domain. Not quite sure the direct url address. There's lots of contacts there that might be able to help.

[@sharpkustoms]

How's the mill working with the nylon gear's, I did the same and they lasted about ten minutes of light cutting

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

I'm still using it and it's been years.

[@sharpkustoms]

@@ChrisOfAllTrades mine lasted ten minutes with some light cutting so I’m going to brass gears,ty for the reply

[@lypsvago]

Thank You 4 sharing

[@andredevries7558]

Can you share the dimentions of the gear please?

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

All the details are on my blog, linked in the description. There's a picture with my notes with the gear dimensions. Please use at your own risk.

[@user-bd4kf1yq1b]

Hi, can you please give the motor data of the router? Motor power, speed, wattage. Thank you

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

i'll see if i can get that info for you. it might take a little while though

[@user-bd4kf1yq1b]

Sank you

[@jamesmcclintock8646]

Chris can i purchase one of these gear for mine mill its on a maximat7 ??

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

I think you might be better off ordering one from McMaster Carr or see if someone can 3D print it for you. The time required to make one of those from scratch would probably make the price I'd have to charge cost prohibitive

[@jamesmcclintock8646]

@@ChrisOfAllTrades thank i give that a try

[@ilyashoshana3950]

I don't think the nylon good to make gears. The milling head gets hat and it can deform the nylon gear good to use Delrin plastic

[@madzz180]

can buy a set for my lathe :)

[@ChrisOfAllTrades]

sure, but it will probably have to wait until the winter. email me at eigenheerc at hotmail dot com in october/november and i'll see what i can do for you

[@madzz180]

cool

[@TheDIMONART]

Now it's even easier with 3d printing in nylon
