I watched the gear cutting series 6 times, literally. I just got through cutting the timing gears for my miniature 4-cycle engine I'm building. Thank you mrpete for this series. I truly owe my successful gear cuts to you and this gear cutting series of videos. Thanks again for all you do.

[@Rocketninja200]

Howdy Mr. Pete. I just recently found your videos and I think they're invaluable. I inherited my grandfather's machine tools and I need to improve my skills with them. Unfortunately he passed away when I was four years old. I would have loved to learn from him. He was a US Naval-Man who machined parts for nuclear reactors. I've worked many trades, therefore some of it is intuitive. Still, I am no machinist by far. Your videos have increased my skills a lot. I will give as much effort to learn from you as you have given to teach, which is a lot. Thank you!

[@mrpete222]

Hey Pete !! Awesome video, It's funny you said in the video that people would probably not make gears at home. Well I am restoring a Prentice Bros lathe from 1886 and I have no change gears for it at all. The tag does list the gear sizes and what position to put them in so I can use that info to make them. I also have to make a new compound since this one was so heavily damaged. Your videos are an excellent resource for me. I'm new to machining but I have a extensive mechanical back ground so this doesn't seem to difficult to attempt, thanks to your information. I am also in Illinois. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks again !!

Another great watch, thanks. You literally have a library of useful information, so great that there are people like yourself with the love of what you enjoy and to be able to pass it on. I have a small boxford lathe and have made plenty of gears on it and some for it most out of tufnol. Such a effortless material you work with with pretty good strength. Thanks again and keep up the great work.👍

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@thatoldbob7956]

Thanks for this video I enjoyed it especially as I have two 10" and one 6" Atlas lathe and I know how pain taking is to change gears no matter how experienced I am in that. My comment is really about the double keys which is a very smart idea. In the case of a single key there is an excentricity created by the torque. This excentricity is pressing the shafts harder to one side in the gear (or the gear to the shafts, the result is the same) and since most usage of the gear train is done in the same direction the gear which made of "softer" material eventually will have an oval bore. One can notice this effect of an unbalanced torque while installing a spark-plug without holding the wrench, at the plug letting the torque breaking the plug. Basically it's the same effect. The DOUBLE key takes care of that by completely eliminating that side effect of torque transmission. Beside the economy of using Zamac for gears there is another good side of this application. Zamac is less brittle than castiron so breaking out teeth from the gear is less likely, in case of a sudden load. The loads on these gears are not that great and their usage is relatively rare except for a few of which replacement is rather inexpensive even today. I will find the rest of your videos on Atlas-Sears lathes. Thanks again. That Old Bob

[@mrpete222]

Thanks--that was a very interesting analysis.

[@electromechanicalstuff2602]

This young bob wants to know if it has anything to do with timing the gear? One key is between teeth the other is on one tooth... i dont know if timing is important. I dont even own a lathe

[@johnleake708]

Mr Pete. I enjoy your machining tips and help pictures lots. The same thing Atlas did (making the gears cheaper) occurs today in tools and hardware. That is how the big box stores undersell traditional supply and retail stores. Unfortunately you pay your money and you get what you pay for. Several older trusted brands are now cheap junk as well.

Great video and nice job. Its all the small details that you cover that make the difference between a good and a bad job. For example keeping on top of the back lash, having a set method of traveling round the dividing plate, accurately setting the z height and cutting towards the larger end of the mandrel. I have enjoyed this gear cutting series allot.

[@mrpete222]

MrCrispin96 Thanks--hows that locomotive coming along?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

mrpete222 Ive not had much chance to work on it since the assembly of my chassis but ive been thinking through how to do the cylinders and what jogs and fixtures to make. Which is half the fun. The material has arrived so I can make a start soon. They are going to be machined from solid mild steel blocks and then i will lock tight in cast iron liners. There will be 2 bores per cylinder, one for the piston at 1 11/16" dia and a 7/8" bore for the valve.

Good video. I had to make some gears for my 12x36 when I was refurbishing it. I had no access to ... well money so I had to do what I could. I program and operate a laser at work so I programmed the gears I needed and cut them out of thinner sheet steel. then I matched them up, drilled them, and put roll pins in them. After that I polished them with a deburring wheel and they are as smooth as glass and seem to be easy on the pre-existing zamok gears. They work well and cost me virtually nothing.

On my 6" Atlas the double keyway is used for a special spacer with two "ears" that joins two gears together to form reduction ratios for feeds and threading. The center of the spacer is a hole that the attaching bolt (axle) runs through. There is no mechanical reason why one keyway wouldn't work, but for whatever reason Atlas made the locking hubs with two.

Great video. You are totally correct about the goggle box pumping out useless boring TV shows. Give me machine shop youtube entertainment any day.

I also have a need to cut a reduction gear (32 tooth outside and 8 tooth inside for example). How would one deal with that situation?
