Cutting a 30 Tooth 'Involute' Gear In Mild Steel, Using a Shop Made Cutter.

[jasonbroadhurst]

Tell me your shop made cutter is shop made, without telling me your shop made cutter is shop made. CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK :D Love your work Chris.

2:15 - It feels so right seeing you use an actual toothbrush to clean the chips from between those teeth... 😁

[matthasaname]

Therapeutic as usual. That last tooth is always so satisfying.

[yak-machining]

I can't believe that the glue can hold such cutting force!

[georgewolf]

Gears are so beautiful when they're thick and milled out like that!

[HolgerBarske]

The cutter didn't seem to be amused. But hey - speeding up the video helps a lot, and you got it done nicely in the end.

It is really interesting that superglue is tough enough to withstand milling forces.

[combatcurtful]

I have to get me one of those wooden parting tools

[assassinlexx]

Surprising the glue can absorb the vibration. Depth of cut is one thing but that vibration is a killer.
Is that shallow cup help with thicker layer of glue?

[mpetersen]

It always amazes me just what results Chris has using cyanoacrylate

[sanjaysami]

This is amazing ! Super glue ?? I had no idea ...

[Thomeeque]

You have quite a trust to that super glue :)

[mastermaker]

And superglue actually holds up to all that

[funwithmadness]

Nerves of steel... I would have wimped out and center drilled/tapped the support stock and bolted the gear to it.

How you divide a gear on the lathe ???

[graemebrumfitt]

Weird watching the first cuts Chris! TFS, GB :)

[oldschool]

Put a bevel on your blank before cutting the teeth. Would like to see your cutter and indexing assembly.

Great video--but I really like to hear your commentary--beats the hell out of background music, and you always manage to throw in so much more info that we have to learn something!

[NoName-dred]

you could make a video showing the splitter device you use on the lathe when you make gears
