Thanks for this video. This solves a problem I have had for about a year. I was going to use a similar method to cut a key-way in a drill press step pulley on my lathe. It needed a new motor which had a 5/8 inch shaft and the pulley had a ½ inch shaft. The motor has a key-way that I wanted to use once the pulley hole was enlarged for the new motor shaft. There are some very good points you included that I had not considered. So thanks for the additional tips.

I've done a few keyways like this, even in steel. It's possible to cut splines and even internal gears if you can rig up suitable indexing and plans and kits for such are around (particularly for the Myford lathes). I used a boring bar holder and a jury rigged plunger operated by a lever, to make a slotting attatchment to avoid having to laboriously wind the saddle back and forth. A blind keyway can be done if a hole is drilled for the tool to run-out into. I've also used the quill on the mill as a slotting tool. The Mk1 Toyota MR2 has a plastic gear on it's electric window motors. These fit over an existing metal gear to enlarge it (changing a 10 tooth to a 22 tooth as I recall). They break and replacements were not available from Toyota. A friend brought the job to me and we ground up a form tool to cut the internal gear in an off the shelf blank mounted on a rotary table.

Richard Kicklighter I just did a 4mm key in cold rolled steel on a mini lathe (7 by 16 LMS) via this method. It worked. With harder materials you shave smaller amounts. It seemed happiest when the cut was 1.5 thousands or less. Because you won't be using the compound, it is best if it is set parallel with the work, and the gibs have been tightened up to avoid slop.

That sound as the cutting starts... Love that. Zinc crystals twin when they are deformed, and when they do, the transition shoots across the crystal at the speed of sound, making a noise. So that if you bend a thin piece near your ear, that same sound is what you hear! Odds on, the cutting sound is because the cutting is making the zinc chips twin as they cut and deform...

Pete, interesting how you have the rear toolholder set screw hanging half a diameter off the rear of the tool bit. It does appear it would hold better axially that way. You essentially have a shaper there - I guess that in some instances it might help to have a clapper, but certainly not for cutting buttery zinc! It occurs to me that you could cut gear teeth in that manner if you could grind a cutter with the proper profile - much simpler than buying a cutter which are expensive and come in so many varieties. Just grind the cutter to match the cutter with one of its less-worn mates. Or can you buy inserts ready made? Hard to stop writing and look it up youtube is quite prone to lock up if I go to my browser on my iPad - requires a hard reboot to work properly and that also erases what I’ve written.

Nice technique for many lathes but potentially troublesome if you try this on any Atlas lathes The carriage left-right movement gears are housed in a Zamak casting. Over time, some Zamak casting made by Atlas have lost a lot of their original strength. The result is that old Zamak castings could break under a lot less stress then when they were new. I broke one on my Atlas lathe without subjecting it to a lot of stress. As a result, one creative CNC person has now begun to make these housings from aluminum and are selling them on eBay. The same problem goes for an Atlas shaper part that can be successively 3D printed in plastic - also available on eBay. I also have one of these on my shaper. This may be a Zamak flaw that has only affected old Atlas parts - I do not know. I believe Zamak is still being made and I suspect that the Atlas zamak problems have been identified and remedied in newly made zamak parts.

I didn't catch it if it was thrown; is the width of the parting tool the same as the required key way width? Or could one just reset the height of the tool and make multiple cuts? Also when using the second parting tool to try to level the cutting tool, I can see that the top surface of the tool becomes level but isn't the narrow face of the tool now tilting down same amount as it would have tilted if no spacer was used? i. e. it just tilts in the opposite direction? It still was close enough to do the job. In any case, it is an excellent video and taught me ĺot. Thanks for all your great videos.
