I volunteer at the Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association machine shop museum. A team of guys functionally restored the Fellows and it is now cutting gears again! Quite a complicated machine. They started out cutting some sample delrin gears as a test but this past weekend I got to witness the first cutting of a cast iron gear. It took about 10 minutes to cut. It is something to see in person. This gear will replace a missing gear for our B&S dividing head that we have on and old B&S No. 2 universal horizontal. We will use the gear in the setup to cut helical stuff.
If you notice the bell ringing in the background, that usually tells you that it is done cutting the gear but we had something set up wrong and it went off prematurely. No harm done.
Here is a video...I hope it works.
