Something satisfying about seeing a gear cutting video, I guess it’s just the precision of the whole part.

I can see runout in the arbor shaft, like watching a jumping rope. You might want to set that shaft between centers and check the runout in the center. Fine video as always!

Nice work as usual, I enjoy following along it’s nice to see old equipment being kept in repair and in service still functional!

I think that your arbour is slightly out of true, hence perhaps the uneven cutting? You can see the out of true in the video. Try rolling it across a flat surface to check and you could apply the Keith Fenner straightening method?

Good morning Keith. I am having coffee watching this. Cheers ☕️, everyone watching. Very nice work, outstanding. Very interesting series. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

This was so cool... Would really love to see you machine a Herringbone gearset.

Always like to see gear cutting. Thanks for sharing.

I truly enjoyed watching you create these beautiful pieces of art.

Absolutely wonderful job on making that gear! Best wishes.

22:12 Your Arbor Press looks like it needs to be leveled Keith, the gear looks great...you the man!

Super video. You have turned a Good Friday into a really good Friday. Thanks. It's appreciated.

Love how you explain and show the procedures.

Thanx for the video ! Always a pleasure to learn from you. Please keep up the good work and I am looking forward to the next.

Another great video, showing the use of tools and tooling I can only wish I had!

Turned out great for the first gear. Thanks for sharing.

As always, excellent machining job making this gear

Very nice work Keith.

Great stuff Keith Monday’s experts abound

Good morning Keith. Looking good. Thanks.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Great video thanks for sharing

Very nice Keith

Thank you for sharing. FAN-tastic job.👍

Interesting video. Thank you.

Good looking gear Keith....Enjoyed !

As a former jet engine mechanic, like you, we didn’t reuse bolts or cap screws as they were already stressed and stretched from original torquing.

Hello Keith. I live in the UK so I will probably never be able to get to any of the meets you go to so it is unlikely that we will ever meet which I feel is a shame for me. I just want to say that I have been watching your channel for a long time now and I enjoy them very much but, also I have noticed how well you look at the moment. It’s good to see. I wish you well and I will continue to enjoy your posts. Best regards. John Greatorex. Derbyshire, England.

At 9:27 when the lathe slows to a stop, it looks like the hub is very off centre compared to the lathe setup? Looks like about 40 thou off? Wasn't it important to get the gear concentric to the bolted hub?

Excellent job Keith. After watching the vid numerous times, my eye picks up what I believe..... is that its NOT the cutter itself that has the run out, but the cross bar instead that appears to show a 3/4 thou to 1.5 thou runout/oscillation.....its clearly visible in many of the longer full frame sequences......its just enough to show a rhythmic up and down oscillation of the bar. Excellent excellent job as usual despite this minor problem....... Don

Great work of making a gear, fun to view and learn, a thank you..... :)

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you!!

Nice work

thanks Keit

Thoughts going back and forth between "geez, that seems like overkill" and "somehow those gears got chewed up". I hope the future of the drill press is better than its past...

Good job

Looks nice!

KEITH, GREAT JOB AND GREAT VIDEO...LET'S GO TO WORK...

Great content as always. I know video can cause optical illusions such as wheels moving the wrong direction, and color differences on a rotating object can make it look like it is wobbling even if it is not. That said it does look like your arbor is bent which would explain the excessive amount of runout you were experiencing from that cutter.

You would think by now Keith would have every single size of every single drill bit... but there's always another.

Good Morning Georgia!😊

Keith, how did the helical cut timing gear for that engine work out? Did it work ok on the engine rebuild?

Is there a timing component between the two gears? Does it matter where the teeth start?

Tisk Tisk Keith, 10-32 is a #21 drill. Just giving you a hard time ☺ Great video as usual!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe too slow of feed rate can cause a cutter to sound non concentric because the cutting teeth don't maintain contact throughout the cut.

Nice job Keith.

Question that heavy cut one side could that be so you have a relief cut for chips to clear out? And how do you cut internal splines to make a coupler for two shafts?

Good morning

looks to me that the arbor that the cutter is on might be a little bent to make the cutter seem to be off center. looks like no problem with all the other work!!

The clearance holes should have been all the way through the steel gear blank with the threaded section in the cast iron. It sounded like you only did the clearance deep enough for the counter bore. You could use an end mill bit to do the counterbore.

37 is prime, so aside from that the next hole patterns you could use would be 74 or 111 holes.

Its funny how many people quote tom lipton. Hes an intelligent fella!

I'm not sure if he has said before but once he is do e with cutting a new gear does it have to be heat treated.

Should also oil the back side of the broach where it rubs the shims. I expect there's a lot of friction there.

Hiya Keith

Nice!! 🙂

I need some splines cut on some transmission parts, this something you would be interested in ?

It looks like there's excessive runout on that arbor - is it straight?

I was surprised to see you cutting the gear while locating on the outside diameter. The gear does not have to run concentric with the outside diameter, but with the bore. I spent 50 years working in the gear and gearbox industry. However if noise and vibration is not an issue then what has been made is adequate.

I noticed you used cutting oil to cut the gear teeth, but not when drilling and tapping the holes. How do you decide when to use oil? Also, do you recycle the cuttings from the various metals and machines? Thanks....

When in doubt, make it stout out of things you know about.

Losing weight👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 hope health stays well for you ! Yes we can tell!

Looks like the arbor is bent?

@16:20 or so. Is it just me but does that arbor look a little bent? I know with the spacers that might be an illusion... 🤔

I know you can always work around and get the depth you need but it looks like you arbor the bent on that gear cutter. May want to check it with a dial indicator if the runout bothers you.

Sure looks easy when Keith does it!

The new broach area looked to be narrow. Was that acceptable?

You ever gonna lag down that arbor press to the concrete?

lost a few pounds Keith look good on you man.

Looks like the OD and ID are not concentric.

You've got quite a bit of runout in the IDs of that assembly, isn't the gear supposed to be running true with respect to the id?

Hm, you seem to be more skinny... Good stuff and right way forward!

hub

#20 for a 10-32 in steel? I would have went with a #18.

The old part has al small key in it on both sides. Doesn't the new one need that also? EDIT: I was to quick with my comment. Awesome job Keith!

HOW did you ensure that the second key way was 180 from the first. ?Dave.

The cutter is always true ... its the bent arbour that is the problem .....................

The bore is a mile off Keith........ but 'good enough '............... 😉
