I can honestly say, Matty you are the type of bloke that people would love to share or rather buy a beer for and have a chat. A beautiful way of presenting in your own unique style. This honesty and dinkum way of sharing knowledge and educating is a very unique gift. To coin a phrase. There’s no bullshit

Winner winner, chicken dinner, nice work, and what a generous viewer gift. 👍I copped a strange comment on one of my videos a few weeks back about being an Aussie, working in metric, but sometimes quoting things in Imperial, but I suspect you are like me, a child of the era when we switched from Imperial to Metric, for me that was the year I started at TAFE for my apprenticeship.

Good job. No more banana measuring. A big help having a mate do the math work. Thanks for sharing.

Somehow cutting your own gears is the "I've arrived" moment in machining. I looked at my Sharp lathe and it does do 1.75 threads. Of course when I got it all of the change gears except what was installed were missing so I had to make a set of 8 gears from 30 to 69 tooth, and make two special high count plates for my dividing head as well. It was a very educational project and immensely satisfying to complete.

Nice info and shop tools from John, Max, & anonymous, lovely Dial Indicator. Brilliant job on cutting gears, not for the faint hearted 👌😉. Rotary wire brush does already job of deburring gears, and slots in screw threads, nice and easy, just beware of flying wires. Have a good un Matty, thanks for sharing 👍.

Nice work, Matty 😊. Those gears are so quiet, no saw dust or nuthin 🤣. Well done! Cheers! 👍😁👍

...another great video, thanks Matty. Very impressive, love that you reached out, got tech assistance, plowed thru...SUCCESS. CONGRATULATIONS on impressive gift, good thing come to good people. Stay STRONG and always the best for you and your better half 😎😎😎💪💪💪

Good one . Watched on TV & forgot to comment ! What is funny is my old 1930's DSG will do a 1.75 mm pitch ! 👍

Cutting gears is always an enjoyable feeling when they come out right. 👍

Hey Matty! cutting gears is a massive achievement for the hobbyist, turned out fantastic!

Excellent job Matty, your word is golden my friend, great video, keep'um coming..

Another top engineering win for Marty’s Workshop. Thanks for the video mate. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

And on the first try toooooo,, excellent job, Matty the "GEAR HEAD" CONGRATS

Enjoyed , Matty nice to see you having a win and seeing the very nice work you are putting out 🙏🏻. For next week

Hi Matt. Great information for us owners of the Al lathe. Haven't needed to cut 1.75 yet but will sore this in the running book for when required. Dropping things in the workshop is a right of passage for those evil shop devils. They always come out when we are not looking. Have a good week

G'day Matty! That mate is a win win, you've made a bloody good job of that! I can't understand why Hafco wouldn't supply a 35 tooth gear with the lathe. After all it's not as if M12 coarse is an oddball size of thread. A big oversight on their part to my mind. I think if I were you I would email the importers of the lathe and ask them the sixty four million dollar question as to why you can't cut an M12 x 1.75 thread on a metric lathe and why you had to get someone to work out what gear tooth you needed to cut a standard metric thread. I know I would be asking them that question lol Anyway you've done it now and made one not only for yourself, but one for Trev and Max as well. Good on ya sir! Cheers from the UK, Sam

Great work as usual mate it's always a highlight of my week to watch you in the workshop, you are an inspiration for everyone who watches. Also I love the fact that you are down to earth and don't sugar coat anything

Great video Matty, always enjoy watching your work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Matty. Glad to see you got it all sorted. Cheers.

Another great one Matty! 👍💪✌

just amazing what one can achieve with a little help form some friends . dam nice job there Matty , me i am laze . use Taps and Dies do cut the odd thread but , if i have a die or tap then that what i use . saves me some time Question , for you i see you thread left to right the normal way and get out as quick as i learned from Blonde Hacks and Joe Pie how to thread in reverse just marvelous no more worrying about crashing bits Cheers Mate you say hopefully we enjoyed the video that goes with out saying dam right we did as for your nuts , and bolts bin there done that think we all have

Hi Matty, I also have a 960 and needed to cut a 1.75 thread some time ago, and off course - I gave up. Now that I have watched your video and noted the B6 setting - I'm going to try and cut my first gear. All the best and thanks for your videos.

Done well Matt. The information you gave out is priceless. To now know there is a fix for my AL360B is good. Might have to have a go myself. It is so nice to see put this info out. Again done well Matt. Regards Baden.

Nice one Matty. I’m gonna start calling you the “gear cutting kid” 😂 Keep up the good work buddy. Cheers Aaron

Never tried doing gear cutting Matty. But i reckon i would screw up plenty of stock trying. Brilliant result. Steve.

Good for you mate! You did the bit that most people don't do! You made your gears that's where most people go out and buy one!! Pity you don't have your shaper anymore, they're the "Universal internal key cutter"! All the best, Matthew

Another great episode. Thanks for sharing 👍

👌👍 All the best Matty

great Job Matty i did the same with my myford lathe to cut metric on imperial lathe all the best Kev (UK)

Great video, finally got my head around gear cutting. Thanks Matty

Hey Matty! Another great video... those gears look great and obviously work great.. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are doing well!

Nicely done Matty.

I have been know to use some colorful language myself. We wouldn't mind because we like your videos and your craftmanship.

Excellent work with the rotary! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

The gears turned out really well Matty. You made a nice job of them. Also an interesting video. A nice gift well deserved. Take care mate. Cheers Nobby

They look stellar! The new DRO must have cut down your lathe time quite a bit.

Hi Matty one very nice and informative video there mate Hooroo and all the best from Paul🇦🇺🍻🤔

I use the same on line gear calculator. It doesn't get easier than that :) There are olso very nice dividing head calculators on line. No more thinking needed.

Enjoyed it very much , thanks matty !

You got her done, good job! Thanks for the look.

Nice job,Matty👌 I do enjoy cutting gears on the mill and those online gear calculators are a tremendous help,I have one downloaded on my apps on my phone. What you have to watch out for with push broaching on a hydraulic press is to back off the pressure every 2 or 3 teeth and release any side loading that accumulates between the ram and the nose of the broach or there is a real risk of shattering the broach. I think I did see you backing off a couple of times during the broaching process.

Great success Matty. Well done.

HI Matt, nice work and educational as always. look forward to seeing your next video, totally enjoyable.

Excellent, another Matty video. Coffee at the ready. Update: on my second coffee and a Marmite (Vegemite to you Matty) toastie. I'm hoping you are keeping as well as you are looking mate.

great one Matty , you keep well

Nice one Matty, no more can't cut an M12 X 1.75.

good job Matt, i am thinking of buying some el cheapo cutters and now after watching this i will!👍👍

Great to see you looking good Lewis

Beautiful Job Matty!

Well done Matty. I will save this vid for future reference should i need to cut that pitch on my AL960b. Thank you and your mates for nutting out all the specs.

Thanks, Matty, another great lesson.

Impressive! Thanks for posting.

G'day Matty, bloody top job buddy, turned out real nice eh Have a great one 👍

That is super cool. . You could cut any toothed gear and make it do other thread cuts . . Amazing.

Thanks Matt for another well presented instructional video, maybe you could market these 35 T gears for the hafco lathe! Might be an earner for you.....again, well done, Mick

Nice , glad it all worked out!

Great one Matty, one thing I’ve never done is gear cutting and I could do with a gear for my Colchester student, hope you keeping well pal, Terry from the old country 🤗👍

Great video Matty thanks for sharing

Thankyou Matty, I could with one of those on my AL 960 B. Have a safe one....😊

Hi Matty nice job on the gears mate I'll get there myself one day, nice looking dial indicator too.

Thanks

good video matty..thanks for your time

excellent work.. always a good feeling when you can make your own tools and equipment.. great stuff!!

Thanks for the gear mate 👍

Good job Matty, excellent finish on those gear blanks and the lathe runs so quiet.

Good engineering content to watch Matty. You've done a fantastic job. Superb gift and great Aussie buddies. Cheers Tony

Your gears run very quietly! Great job.

Beautiful work Matty, and I bet you had better QC than the stock gears that came with the lathe! Hope you're doing ok, it's been a few weeks since you posted this.

Nice bit of work on the gear. It's a hobby I need to get into.

I converted a 20t press into a broaching press by replacing the jack with an 8t engine crane air over hydraulic ram. Much faster with the air and gets the job done in one stroke. 👍

Nice one mate bloody great job

Perfect work Matty 👌👌

Good video and a great job cutting the gear teeth!

you are looking great, hoping you feel the same

Nice work......Thanks for sharing

Thanks Matty

G’day Matty, very nice work on the gears mate. I’ve always wanted to try cutting gears but never got round to it. May be one day 😊 hope all going well with your treatment mate.

Gear cuttings great fun ( when you don't eff up lol) your looking good mate long may it continue

I have no need to cut gears but I really want to try. Nice work Matty,

Great job Matty

well done Matty, I had the same problem on my chester lathe, NO 1.75mm pitch !, I used Evan Lewis`s Ride The Gear Train algorithm to work things out for that and lots of other pitches, was very useful and if you input the right data it works out which gear setting for you. Good to see you doing stuff. keep it up.👍

More good work from you good luck stay safe

Chooks in the air are OK with me, so long as they are accompanied by plenty of baked or roasted veggies. Hope you didn't drop the box a second time after the pick up. Bloody nice job on the gears.

Fantastic result. I have often wondered how to set the quick change gears when changing the gears on the back. My old Atlas lathe doesn’t have a quick change box so it’s all done on the slow change gears. I chewed out a gear a while back and I made a new one out of brass. (Existing gears are some kind of alloy named Zermac) I did the same procedure as you except I cut the key way with a home ground single point tool. Locked the lathe spindle and wound the carriage in and out like a horizontal slotting machine. Took a while but it worked great. Made a spare gear of course 🤠 My channel is currently at ~950 subs at the moment. Im in a bit of a creative low. I have one in the can and editing as we speak. Hard work back forward back forward 🤠 Hats of to you, your videos come out great and are easy to watch all the way to the end.

Great job 👍

Noice work mate 👏👏👏 Robert

Excellent, as usual !

Thx for a Great vid. Matty.

Great job mate absolutely awesome. You are turning out some great quality projects really enjoy your channel. I Never miss a thing. Hope you’re feeling OK mate and you’re doing well.👍

A great job matt

You can get them from the UK but would have to put them on a diet as they are 15mm wide and do the bore for those that don''t want to cut the teeth. and I think it is a very common problem my lathe came from Taiwan and much older and same gear missing.

Nicely done Matty. Glad everything went as smoothly as it did. I spent my working life with gears and gearboxes, and I loved it. You're looking good mate, what's the latest medical news ? Regards to you and family 👍

i also dropped a sorted box of nuts and bolts and took the better part of an hour to sort them back out... that was over 10 years ago since that day i swore never to use that kind of box again... Now i have a proper pull out cabinet that i cant drop lol

Nice job Matty, I'm surprised your machine doesn't do 1.75. I have a very similar lathe to you, mine is a Capital C06230A/914. For all metric threads it lists both top and bottom small gears run engaged with the 120T main/banjo gear. It only uses the 127T-120T combo for cutting imperial thread pitches. My settings for 1.75 are: Top gear - 56 tooth. Bottom gear - 60 tooth. Gearbox/Leadscrew Levers - 4-R-A-C. Too late now, but I wonder if the same set up would've been correct on your machine too🤔😁👍

Nicely done Matty, that was really interesting - even to me - a non-machinist. Regards, Dave

another excellent video, keep it up.

Awesome video matty,

Nice job! Those came out great!

Matty, was that your Kenworth truck in the day? Looks like snow there, didn't know it snowed in down under.

G'day Matty great video and awesome work mate
