Very interesting! I worked at a company called Amarillo gear they have simular equipment. Amarillo gear has a notable distinction of having one of two of the worlds largest Gleason gear generators ever made by that company the other is in a museum.

I did straight bevel gears on Gleasons, thread milling, and spur/helical gears for about 5 years. It's all manual change gears and getting the angles right on setup. It's never boring in a job shop, as you get new things to do all the time. What a great interview. Thanks for sharing it.

Great tour. I've worked with new CNC hobbing equipment. But cut my teeth on a Barber Coleman. I loved that ole machine, changing Driver/ Driven gears and adjusting in the tolerance manually. Great equipment in your shop. I'm not convinced that CNC hobbing really improved the process that much.

@@RRaucina sounds like you are a great person 👍 Maybe not very confident in ones ownself i imagine, to point out a stereotype of coffee, a problem that's occurring everywhere however it is more obvious here due to the inability to have areas to hide the problem of houselessness, and an area that accepts people with their sexual and gender identies on the internet to a stranger... I honestly can't tell if your making a joke in bad taste or just a knob. Anyways have a good day.

That would have been cool. Awesome video and I know that beautiful shop smell of Rapid Tap and oils was worth the trip. Ricko

@earlhengel1239 2 жыл бұрын

You have some great tooling. Don't let them say that it's old or don't look at it that way. The United States if it loses its too lean it cannot replace it. The big bad wolf and Cinderella CNC is a bunch of garbage. They have their place but all great countries have to lean. It is tooling that any great country has to have. Without it this country does not have to lean. Some people prefer dentures. Sincerely Nick

I would keep at least a few of those machines going/ a few guys who know how to do it the old way. There's no telling how useful a COMPLETELY airgapped manufacturing machine is. And frankly, it's stupid basic. The only real electrical in those old gear cutters are the motor/ motors.
