Replacement Gear Materials

Agreed on all parts.
Especially as you've got 40 teeth to cut and not just one keyway.

Making a gear on a lathe.



Don't think I would have the patience.:dejected:
 
This is cool!!
Thanks for the video link!!!
Did anyone note that at the very end there is a sentance on the screen stating it only took 45min to make the gear?

I saw a lot of flexing as he was working back and forth...and that was no Atlas lathe he was using for the broaching.
 
There is a lever-type modification that avoids using the carriage traverse to advance the cutter tooth but the carriage traverse on the Atlas was never designed for the forces required to use the machine as a Shaper.

OK. See the file Lathe Keyway Cutting Attachment-1.pdf in DOWNLOADS. It is in the A/C Lathes Accessories & Attachments folder under Atlas/Craftsman. The article presupposes that you already own the cylindrical boring bar holder set, which in the case of A/C lathes was made by Atlas and sold by both them and Sears.
 
Thanks, Rob. I had forgotten about that version.

Spiral, did you ever do drawings for the parts?
