G'mornin' folks. Worked on the eccentrics yesterday. I found this a challenging process. Mostly because of holding, the one 'tit' sticks out wider than the part is thick. As you can see from the photos there is a chunk that needs cut out to make them sorta round. Marked that out first...

Cooler weather is allowing me to fish and work in the shop. Caught two nice Chinooks this morning and cut some keyways this afternoon. Had been fretting as the ones I did today were only 1/16 and I was not about to buy a single broach and guide for just one job. Use a cutoff blade in a holder...

Well got the new gear blank yesterday. Not a big deal, been fishing and catching. Needed a rest today from good fishing. All prep and prelim work same as before. No telling for sure what I did wrong. But you can see in first photo that it got the scratch treatment all the way 'round, and...

Yes, scratch first then the first cut I worked in to the .067", then just did all the cuts in one shot.

Well that went well. No issues at all for the small gear.

Phil, same cutter all gear counts. Second video explains between 5:30 and 6:00. Only thing that changes is the rotor table stuff and tool alignment. That is the cool thing about this cutter. It is not an involute cutter which does require different cutters for different tooth counts. This...

Okay, after analysis; the depth I cut was 0.070, determined by the calcs above. That was one extreme, the min was 0.067. Will that .003" be enough? I will admit my gibs need tightened, which I can do now that the thing is over. Also, I did it in 3 different sittings, so I could have goofed...

Cogsy, well I thought it was correctly positioned.

Phil go ahead and link me to a cutter, I only see full set options for 32dp 14.5 pa, for a 32 and 150 tooth gears. (I do have a suitable 7/8 arbor) I agree the tooth shape is too sharp, which could mean too much depth of cut. The other end of the cut depth spectrum was only .003 less and not...

Wellllllll, not sure why, but it didn't come out. You have to do the whole gear to find out on the last tooth if it came out which is an ugly feeling. So ordered another, have a cast wheel that can use for something, just not a gear. Such is life.

Well between runs of salmon, rainy day, so getting some stuff done. Spent the whole morning tramming the mill, rotory table, and such. Got to starting on the gear today. Immediately had to modify the tool. Should have made it with more cuts. Instead took a grinder to the (shiny) spot to...

Let me elaborate, to achieve the depth of cut for the tool, I need what the book calls "Whole Depth (Preferred) h1." There is also "Working Depth h2". P is the diametral pitch. Regardless, the value for the depth of cut (h1 or h2)uses a different factor (X). Thus the formula is: h1 (or)...

I would assume they would help with shipping

Edit to above post. I used the machinist manual to get the depth of cut per tooth, I believe that formula is in the second video. I get a different value using the Machinist Handbook formulas.....not a huge difference, the handbook has a range of min and preferred.

Actually, I do and now I should have looked for it. I never considered the book could help with this. Dang book is a gold mine. I use it every day I machine I think. ' That link above is better, faster, doesn't allow me to make math mistake, just input errors

Part one, with the most important information, the calculations and basic idea Part two which I didn't need this time He does make an error later in the FIRST video re: one calculation, ignore that. The stuff he does on the white board is correct. I think was just a slip on his part (the...

Well me thinks this is early in the bidding, give it time. 2600 is peanuts for it. i just don't have the storage or the funds to purchase anything I want

I don't know if folks are interested, but you don't see this stuff very often. Everything from traction engines to Maytag motors, hit and miss, a Corlis, steam engines, etc. Big collection of deceased collector and all online...

Thank you for that link, extremely useful.
