[@bpark10001]

Comment about sprocket design: when the teeth are few, you should always use an odd number of teeth. Reason, there is a "tension wobble" because essentially the sprocket is a "polygon" of N sides, and not a circle. By using odd tooth number, the tension ripple of the meshing-in point and the meshing-out point cancel. Another thing: the pitch of a sprocket should be A LITTLE LESS than that of the chain. (The more teeth on the sprocket, the more reduction you need.) The chain will move outward to find the exact point of pitch match. If you make it exact, a micro piece of dirt will hold the chain upward from its seated position, causing the next link of the chain to fall further behind the sprocket, which makes the next link even further. If you have ever had a bike where the chain makes jumping noises, and no matter how much you tighten it, it gets hard to turn, then bang! and suddenly easier, repeat... That's the cause.

[@Orange_pickles]

The sprockets we machine at work we do the same way on a cnc mill, we add a scallop in the valley of the tooth with a ball nose to allow dirt to escape. We also have problems with too much cutter engagement in the corners, which can be kinda fixed by a circular helical tool path or slowing the feed rate down. As always a great video TOT

[@saifcathum3423]

17:42 I hate when that happens. Fixed a gear in my lathe with a copper washer and some JB Weld, after getting tired of waiting. Then the part arrives in the mail. Never bothered to change it, the JB Weld is still holding to this day.

[@SeanBZA]

Tin can piece, and loctite 603, because the manufacturer decided to increase shaft size a few hundred units up from the one I got, so the new gears ( slightly better quality than TOT has) were just a tiny bit sloppy on the shaft. I also had to, on another gearbox, take a regular Fenner gear, and turn most of it away, as this used a gear as part of a clutch assembly to limit torque, so just needed the actual gear teeth and a flat plate, with the centre having a brass ring to take up the 2mm diameter difference. My garage door as well, needed 2 gear teeth, but the chain is a skinny one, not easy to get, but easy to take standard sprockets and machine them down to the skinny ones, then take some regular chain and put it in where it would just not travel over them, as a spacer.

[@ShadowManceri]

Well like they say, nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.

[@You-gk1el]

PRO TIP: Well when I JB welded mine I had to do the same thing tony did and cut a link out of the chain because when the one tooth broke off I skoooooted all the other teeth around a bit to make it concentric, hence the removing of the half a link of chain. You’ll get that on these big jobs........

In the mid '80's, I was working at an independant sports car shop in the off season, (I worked in Pro football as an asst athletic trainer, and didn't make enough to support a family). This guy came in with a 911S with a horrid oil leak. They have chain driven overhead cams on both heads of the flat 6 engine. The chain tensioners had been shot for so long, the slack chain had worn through the case cover. The case covers were not available from any wrecking yards, and after the cost of the tensioner repair, the owner choked on nearly twice as much for two new case covers. I offered him an inexpensive solution with no guarantee of it working. I then JB Welded the cases. No leaks. Thr key is cleanliness. I ran into the owner 3-4 years later, he still had the Porsche, and it had never leaked. If I guaranteed it for 2 days, it would have started leaking after 47 hours. Sometimes, it's all about knowing how to play the universe off against itself. LOL

Something under the tongue my shoe ! - and only then you find it is the original lost part.

[@bpark10001]

When contour machining form with concavities, avoid the high milling stress in the roots by using the cutter to drill holes in the concavities first, then run the contour. On drilling, forces are central and aligned with axis, so no tool deflections affect concavity position. It is easy in the CAD to add these holes. If your cutter has a plunge grind, you can use the same tool. In this case, you can select the tool that matches the concavity, rather then having to use a smaller one. This also mitigates the clogging of the tool flutes when cutting concavities.

they work for stuff that is equally spaced from center, meaning the cut needs to be similar all the way round, which isn't the case with a D shape, even if you were to position your spindle on the center of a circle that would with inside the D, and not on the centerline of the sprocket, there would be a lot of meat to cut at the top/bot corners of the D, which has a good chance of screwing things up for you much easier to do with a D broach starting in an offset circle (same one that would fit in the D), that is how it was probably done in the factory, and they probably made it as the last feature, not the first, hence why it is all wobbly like that if they made the D hole first, then fit it on proper D shaft mandrel and machine the rest, everything would be reasonably concentric p.s.

Hey... Had a great idea for a future build for you. I've searched high and low for a serious fishing reel build, and all I come up with are these wooden toy like things. I just moved from Wisconsin to South Carolina and almost all my fishing gear is useless for ocean fishing. Prices for this stuff are astronomical! When I finally get my machines set back up I'm going to copy a friend's $1200 ocean fishing reel, but I thought of you also. It's certainly not anything others are doing in KZbin land and I think it would prove to be a very challenging and popular build. Lots of different materials and operations. A virtual smorgasbord of metal fabrication entertainment. Thanks for all videos...👍

Hi Tony, Only just been able to get back to this vid, looking after a 'hyperactive' 4yr old grandson isn't as easy as people think ;o) (he may not be hyperactive, I'm just old, slow and worn out) Your talking about something I really know a bit about. Just in case you didn't know (and I'm sure many of your subscribers wont know?) I haven't done any research (even I'm not that much of a nerd) Chain standards were probably set up in 19th century when Britain had an Empire and America didn't have much standardisation ( Congress passed some acts in 1864 that took another 20 years to be implemented, Troy ounce for precious metals was the only recognised standard measurement nationwide until then) Chains are 'mostly' measured in 1/8" 'blocks' a 630 is 6/8 (three quarter inch pitch) by3/8 ( three eighth's internal width between side plates). 520 is 5/8 x2/8 . 420= 4/8x2/8, etc. There are a few special sizes that don't seem to conform, the one you have looks like a

Also that motor movement seems like it would cause the chain to wear much more quickly.

I think it's just because he has the swingarm disconnected from the frame and the camera is mounted to the frame. The motor moves with the rear wheel.

He might decide to post it last week. But it depends if his antikythera mechanism is charged enough.

[@pppaybackkk]

I've been investigating this actually, I have a bit of time on my hands lately. Something about the US having 5G install issues or something, but I've figured this much out. He typically Zooms Blondihacks and Abom, and they plan their channels out before filming even starts. But, afterwards, Tony walks outside and the squirrels convince him that he's better than that. That he should do something more artistic, more meaningful. He talks to the dog and of course, the dog disagrees, but there's a long, violent, bloody imagined history at work there. Ultimately, he chooses to go with the old standbys, takes them to 97% completion, screws them up, and does something else entirely in about 15 minutes.
