How to model compound gears, and how to chamfer the teeth of gears. (Gears pt 1.5/7)

[@timfairfield407]

excellent tips and explanation of why gears have the attributes they have. Great series

[@cat8skipper]

This is the tutorial I have been wanting all along! I really appreciate your scaffolded approach, presenting material in increasing difficulty rather than overwhelming a beginner with everything at once. You've given a lot to think about, but you've supplied the tools to perform the analyses. I can't wait to see your videos on herringbone and helical gears. Thank you!

[@gregorymertens6964]

Your videos have been great for me. I’m learning to machine gears and to draw them in Fusion. Thanks. …and love the TOT reference.

Thanks mate, and glad to see some people know of Tony

Exactly what I was looking for to remove elephant footing on gears! Very clearly explained!

[@antalz]

Good to hear, and thanks so much!

[@rangertato]

Love the ToT reference

Combing gears was what I had really been looking for. Thank you. I really like your measured delivery.

[@antalz]

Thank you, I'm currently editing a video on powering Raspberry Pi from batteries, I think after that I'll do bevel gears. Stay tuned!

[@snarkfinder2621]

@@antalz I am looking forward to that.

Great to know at least one person appreciated it, thanks

Straight forward and to the point thank you.

Thanks for your videos on creating gears, really helpful.

[@antalz]

No problem, thanks for watching

[@pd4689]

@@antalz Your instructions are always so clear and explanatory, it would be great to watch you draw a GT2 sprocket.

[@antalz]

@@pd4689 Thanks for that idea, I'll look into it. I haven't done anything with belts yet actually.

great technique, very clear and detail, thanks for your sharing.

[@danielsaenz5570]

Hello! If you don't mind, could you please explain the math you did at 6:35 You said that the Module times the number of teeth plus 2 is the outer diameter of the gear, can you explain more on that Please. Thanks a lot! Your videos are great!

[@marklandsaat3696]

The gear videos are good 👍

[@sbotti4294]

There's going to be an obvious performance difference between how these two methods function in a real world environment. So I would say there is more to this then simply a case of varying methods. Any insight into which one is actually the proper method? Or for which purpose you would choose one over the other? I have to imagine a machinist would be after my head if I sent him the second!

[@antalz]

I would use the first method for if I must model a gear or cut or hobbed out of a metal blank. You can make that chamfer in the real world quite easily on a lathe. The only hard thing is how to fix a gear in the lathe, you'd need a chuck with the right number of jaws or a mandrel. In my own case that would always be a purchased gear, I don't have the tools to cut my own gears. Most gears you can buy come with this type of chamfer already cut. The second method is nearly impossible to machine. Maybe with crazy fixturing on a CNC mill you can get it done, but I've never seen someone do that. It's quite trivial for 3D printing though. A machinist would indeed be pretty annoyed if you put that on a drawing. I don't think there's a big performance difference, it's just that the second chamfering method is nearly impossible to machine, but can be 3D printed pretty easily.

Unfortunately I cannot find a TOOLS menu in my Fusion 360 program. How I can reach it?

[@antalz]

On the top toolbar select utilities, the rightmost of 6 words, there you can find addins. The menus got changed at some point.

[@StamD65]

@@antalz Thank You a lot

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

usual crap... no software used name!

[@antalz]

You can use almost any CAD software you want, what I'm using is Fusion360. Alternatives include FreeCAD, OnShape, possibly SolidEdge community edition, and a few more that all cost a ton of money.

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

@@antalz Thank you for trying... Fusion360 is criminal stealing cloud shite, FreeCAD is total crap, OnShape again cloud garbage, SolidEdge community, I have no idea, but it sounds like cloud garbage ... The only free one is FreeCAD, but it's horrendous! Alibre is probably the best standalone, while on sale... about $1300.00

[@Jewish-Bandera]

Thank a lot. Do you have tutorials how to create and print bevel gears?

[@antalz]

Yes, but it's a long one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZymqqNrrLhsq68
