Spiral Bevel Gear Turning.

A spiral bevel gear is a bevel gear with helical teeth. Spiral bevel gears are designed for applications that require high speed and high torque power.
8620 alloy steel is an ideal material for an array of applications. It is often used in the production of medium strength machine parts, including gears, fasteners, and forged camshafts.

There's some clever workholding ideas here!

[@artmckay6704]

I love machining! You can take a relatively inexpensive lump of steel and turn it into something beautiful and valuable! Manufacturing is the wealth building backbone of any nation that supports their factories and machinists! Wow! Another CNC masterpiece! :)

[@urbanwillis2212]

It is amazing to see this man using the same type micrometers I used on those old manual machines in my heyday. The more things change the more they stay the same. Chris Maj is a metal sculptor.

[@captcarlos]

Nice work Chris, thank you for sharing it with us. and sharing the details as well. I'm always pausing your vid when information on inserts, sizes, tolerances, etc are displayed.

[@madaxe79]

Finally see someone using a micrometer properly. So many people use the ratchet and just crank away on it without feeling for the high spot.

[@justinl.3587]

Using the ratchet isn't wrong. Just have to use it properly.

[@madaxe79]

@@justinl.3587 The ratchet is for people who don’t know how to measure. When you’re measuring something, you have to feel it so you know you’re measuring it right, you can’t use a ratchet and feel the workpiece. There are probably times when using a ratchet is acceptable, but I haven’t found one yet. You see people transfer a measurement from a gauge and they just ratchet away, they could be out by 20-30 microns. I never use the ratchet, never have. I think using the ratchet might get you within 03, maybe 02, but not using the ratchet will get you within 01 or better every time.

[@dodojesusrex5380]

@@madaxe79 The ratchet ensures, that diffrent persons can come to the same measurement. it removes variables, which come from diffrent people using the same measurement tool slightly diffrent. You gotta feel for trhe high spot as well, but if you do this using the ratchet, two diffrent people will always come to the same measurement, given that they both know how to use it properly

I have been a turner for 49 years and never used a ratchet.

Bevels are beautiful!

[@tuantq06]

I used to lock that OD mic at the number I want, slide it on the OD and feel it. Adjust if too tight or loose. It’s all about feelings. Especially working on a VTL where the part facing up.

[@BROCKWOOD64]

This is only cutting out a blank for the purpose of making a spiral bevel gear. Great work. Still, I'm off to find where you actually do make the spiral cuts......

[@ChrisMaj]

We don't have the equipment to do that. We send them out.

[@michaelarias7324]

I’m in my 3 year of machining would be great if you could come up with a video related to speeds and feeds or calculations!

[@ChrisMaj]

Ooo man believe me, you don't want any advice on feeds/speeds from me. I'm that guy that usually goes by feel/ear/sound/shape of the chips.

[@kisspeteristvan]

There is a sea of information , if you want to research . Other this and the many many rule of thumbs (which differ from man to man) , you can find relevant info in tool catalogs , online catalogues , also usually on the box of the inserts . 1 tip if you're working with a small , like half inch and under , don't go by the recommended depths and feed , or at least start on the low side. (a CCMT060208 might take a 2mm per side cut , with a 0.25mm feed per rev , but a 10mm boring bar surely will not especially in steel and harder metals)

[@chrisyboy666]

Don’t understand what you need to know it’s basic simple math...all material and carbide has a number you transpose into the formula....to get your feeds and speeds then you fine tune..on the machine the cutting formula are freely available and set in stone...simple rule of thumb is the colour of the chip straw colour...which means the heat is in the chip and not the tool and it should be chip not a string.. Simple

[@briensickler8109]

Feeds and apeeds are going to differ via material and batches. The best thing to do is experiment. Hands on is your best instructor. I needed to edit most of my programs after they were written and loaded to the server. Had a couple hundred of them. I remember one casting would be so different batch to batch that my rough cuts could vary in speed by as much as 400rpm, and we won't even talk about the feed rates. 😂😂 Also, insert choice will affect how fast you can cut, and how long the insert will last. One tip, I always tried to only leave .010 for my finish cuts if possible. Inserts last much longer, can run the cut faster, more consistent and the finish tended to be better (for me). Loved running a cnc. Sure do miss it.

[@jeremyeverson9247]

Very cool video to watch. A question from someone who has never touched a lathe like this. It sounded like the speed was changing as the tool moved in toward the center. Is that to keep the Feed rate correct based on the smaller diameter which changes the angular speed?

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, it's called Constant surface speed.

[@kisspeteristvan]

I see some Korloy inserts , am i right ?

[@ChrisMaj]

You're not wrong.

[@matthewmeuleman9872]

why does the machine sound like it is speading up when the part gets smaller

[@deltamachine2059]

Feeds are in surface feet so feed and finish stays the same as the part gets bigger or smaller

[@massimilianocipriani7838]

When you face a part, if you use the constant cutting speed function (instead of the constant rotation, ore fixed rotation one) the control adapts the revs per minute of the spindle according to the position in x of the cutting tool. The smaller the diameter turned, the faster the spindle turns and vice versa. When the diameter is large, it helps you to save a lot of time.

[@ParkerLouisDE]

It's called constant surface speed. The bigger the diameter the slower the rpm and vice versa.

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

@@ParkerLouisDE CSS G96 and G97. You also have to program max speed in so you don't get too many revs.
