Gear Depthing Tool Plans- ideas, suggestions, plans, machining order
BillTodd:
how do you hold the pinions (gears) while adjusting the spacing?
:scratch:
PeterE:
I thought that the depthing pegs shall allow to insert a 2mm? gear axle at the top to fit the gears on, and then when marking exchange the 2mm pins for a piece of say 5/2 mm extension piece to tap upon.
Much like the image on page 1 of this thread where the depthing pegs goes bweteen the "bars" 90 degrees compared with my sketch.

Chris here's a drawing of the plate. There's nothing critical except the spacing of the axle holder balls which are for a 3mm 0r 4mm axle (is that large enough?)
BTW the max opening is 83mm not 73 as previously stated.

Hi guys and hi Bill, I know you have been putting a lot of effort into helping me here. I'm actually moving - it's all happened unbelievably quick and although we still have a good number of weeks until move day, getting the workshop in storage was priority as everything is so heavy and I happened to have some storage offered to me! I genuinely went and purchased that 1/4" brass and then the next day turned the power off to my machines and now they are gone!
I can assure you, this will be the first project on the list when I get going again.....whenever this may be!
In the mean time I keen to get a plan in place and continue with the discussion!
