Modern tech has really made home workshops much better and accessible I believe. You can 3d print gears with accuracy good enough for lathe change wheels. I have made a set to include imperial to metric transposing gears. Even PLA is strong enough.
Great content as always, thank you. I have taken inspiration from you for casting and machining with some success.

Nice job 👍👍 Looking forward to the rest of the loco build. Cheers, Alan.

I would always look for a screw of the correct length to hold blanks on a mandrel. I didn't even think of using a nut on a longer screw. Thanks for the tip.

You're making good use of that xtool laser :))

I love using a spindexer when I get a chance to. It's so simple, little can go wrong. I think anyone that has one always has an upgrade they want to do to it.

Nice job on the gears. I like the spin indexer. Looks easier to use than a dividing head. The spin indexer may be a good option for my mini mill? Cheers Nobby

Nice result. How many watts do you get from that laser? Looks like you were cutting at 20mm/sec.

I wonder if you will ever return and complete that machined 3d printer you was planning to finish.

You need a porta-band with a nice stand for your shop….I do 95% of my cutting with it!.. takes up almost no square footage!

Can you not use the stepper motor indexer to make a gear.

[erniecamhan]

You saw like a teenager, short and fast, use the whole blade

OK, It looks like to it's down to me to ask the stupid question.
Why is there a gear on the front wheel if you have a shaft (not sure of the correct term) from the rear wheel driving the front wheel?
Shall I get me coat?

Hello, I sent you an email earlier, I hope you get it as sometimes it ends up in the spam box, I need a few castings made and was hoping you could help. I'll delete this comment later on.

You need a power bandsaw, will make you arms feel better. Faster too. 🙄😁

Your plex color is very close to the color of the protection plex, funny it can be cut by a laser? 🤔🤫😂
