Chris --- End quote --- That looks like the form relieving tool described by Ivan Law in his Workshop Practice book "Gears and Gear Cutting". I just got my copy the other day. I haven't read that section yet, but I have read a fair bit of the book and I would encourage anyone interested in making gears to get a copy. I'm not universally enthusiastic about the Workshop Practice series, but this one's a cracker. Law can write for starters. He very simply and clearly demystifies the geometry. I couldn't put it down actually. |

Same as Bryan says about Gears and Gearcutting by Ivan Law, I have literally 8 foot of shelf space given over to gear books and manuals, it's a hobby of mine, yes I know sad bastard etc,. Ivan book is my favourite bar none because it cuts out loads of mathematical calculations that you have no control over or they don't matter anyway. It is the simplest of books on the subject that cover all the home shop guy needs and nothing more. It must be good as Rob Wilson says he can understand it so that saying something, I think he has one of the later copies that has been translated into Geordie. John S. |
