Home Made Gears

Hi Fomogo, this cutter was for an .5 module 72 tooth gear so the size of the tooth is quite small,
the depth of cut for .5 module is 1.08mm or 42 thou and the material of the blank was aluminum
even so I made the cut in about 6 steps as the shaper was running at about one cut per second I just
wound it down a few thou each stroke using the indicator to measure the depth,
John.
 
Very ingenious use of tooling. I'll certainly remember this one.

Very Well Done, and an excellent example of "Just Getting It Done".

I MADE A COUPLE DOZEN OF THESE FROM OLD WHEAT PENNIES & SOLD THEM TO COIN COLLECTORS .
