Thanks Trion  :thumbup:

Hi and thanks Darren , any time  , The gears were cut with a comercial gear cutter and its always good practice to cut to FULL depth ,in one pass , the cutters last longer . The gear is made from  high carbon  steel ,  the same as the original gear , i did a spark test on the old gear . it took about 1 1/4 hours to cut the teeth . I also had the coolant on for the steel gear , no coolant for the cast change wheel .

Thanks Rob

Thanks  Dave ,spot on , slow feed ,low rpm's , I used 120 rpm's for the 20 DP cutter ,on  larger DP i use 80 rpms or slower . I am thinking about make an attachment for the 626 mill so i can cut some skew gears.


Cheers Rob
