Modern tech has really made home workshops much better and accessible I believe. You can 3d print gears with accuracy good enough for lathe change wheels. I have made a set to include imperial to metric transposing gears. Even PLA is strong enough. Great content as always, thank you. I have taken inspiration from you for casting and machining with some success.

You're making good use of that xtool laser :))

Nice job 👍👍 Looking forward to the rest of the loco build. Cheers, Alan.

I would always look for a screw of the correct length to hold blanks on a mandrel. I didn't even think of using a nut on a longer screw. Thanks for the tip.

@Preso58 Ай бұрын

Nice result. How many watts do you get from that laser? Looks like you were cutting at 20mm/sec. Regards, Preso

@myfordboy Ай бұрын

It's a 55w laser cutting at 20mm/sec

I love using a spindexer when I get a chance to. It's so simple, little can go wrong. I think anyone that has one always has an upgrade they want to do to it.

Nice job on the gears. I like the spin indexer. Looks easier to use than a dividing head. The spin indexer may be a good option for my mini mill? Cheers Nobby

@myfordboy Ай бұрын

It's very easy to make a mistake with a dividing head. Don't ask how I know. You can make extra plates on the mill with DRO.

@myfordboy Ай бұрын

If you should ever get one and want some custom plates let me know I can make them very quickly with the laser.

@@myfordboy Thanks David, I'll certainly keep that in mind. All the best Nobby

You need a porta-band with a nice stand for your shop….I do 95% of my cutting with it!.. takes up almost no square footage!

I wonder if you will ever return and complete that machined 3d printer you was planning to finish.

@myfordboy Ай бұрын

The printer was finished. Back then there were not many affordable ones on sale. I was asked to review one of the first Sovol ones and never had a reason to use my own design one.

I know how to saw. Just keeping my arm out of the way so the camera can see. No need for rude comments.

Hello, I sent you an email earlier, I hope you get it as sometimes it ends up in the spam box, I need a few castings made and was hoping you could help. I'll delete this comment later on.

@lornablewettandlee504 Ай бұрын

OK, It looks like to it's down to me to ask the stupid question. Why is there a gear on the front wheel if you have a shaft (not sure of the correct term) from the rear wheel driving the front wheel? Shall I get me coat?

@myfordboy Ай бұрын

Keep your coat. It's a quirk of the original loco. They used the same casting for both wheels. As you say the front gear is not needed
