Hi Lads

Thank's very much for your very kind comments , CHEERS  :nrocks:

Nothing to show tonight , all i managed was to turn up a gear blank , anyone who may want to cut some spur gears , may be interested in a copy of a gear data chart, i keep it around the shop , its a laminated ,scan from an old mag i have . I could not upload it to Madmodders , to large , if anyone could attach it here pleased do .

Thanks for that Rob  :thumbup:

I feel another lamination coming on  :lol:


Knowing your affection for six splined gears you might want to take a look here .... no idea if they are the right ones though

Hi Darren

Thanks for posting the link   , i had a look , the O/D of the splines is too small ,its the same size as the bore on mine , same ,,,,,,,,,,,, They could be off a Harrison or Chipmaster.


Thanks Rob  :thumbup:

Hi Rob, looks great as ever ...  :clap:

A couple of questions if I may?

Did you cut the teeth to full depth in one pass or several?

Is that ordinary mild steel?

How long did it take?

Thanks
Darren

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.
