Cutting my first Miter gear

[Brian Rupnow]

Luc--No--I have gears on my motor already. I just made these ones to see if I could. I have set them up in a small frame with knurled shafts and they will go up on my "Bragging Wall". How is the work on your engine progressing?

Congrats on your success Brian. I may well attempt my own, once I get an appropriate cutter. I'd rather spend the money on the cutter and learn a new skill than buy gears.

Mr. Rupnow,

Congrats on the gears! Was just wondering what the green goo was on your final mesh test picture? I'm assuming its some kind of Loctite? I'm just wondering the specifics of it for future reference.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Thanks for taking the time to post all these pictures. It's real helpful to us not-so-experienced guys.

That green goo is Loctite. #638 for "slip fits" and #648 for press fits. The stuff is absolute magic in a bottle.--and it can be separated with application of some heat if you ever have to separate the joint.

The way he cuts the gears may not be exactly kosher, but check out this guy cutting miter gears with home made equipment.
