Gear cutting

[hdwrench1]

Good evening All,
Does anyone know of any good on-line or written resources on gear cutting with a mill and rotary table?


Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne, There is a great book "Gears and Gear Cutting" by Ivan Law. It has a lot of great info. If you would rather watch a video " Making Gears the Easy Way" is full of great stuff. A little more $ but worth it. You can find it here. http://tool20895.homestead.com/Video-Prices-Page.html

Just do a search on "gear cutting mini lathe" You will find more sites than you can look at.

Here are several of my favorites, but there are many more.

I routinely cut gears for model engineers using a Fellows 6A gear cutting machine. Using a dividing head is good too. Quite a lot of people have a problem knowing of the gears are at the correct depth and finished. I have an Excel file that you put he number of teeth and the tooth form, it then displays the span measurement and the number of teeth to measure across. It only works for Module pitch, but there are free converters that can be downloaded. I cane share this if it is useful . . . .

Cheers,

Colin

For Canucks, I stumbled onto this website. They generally have used books available at lower cost & similar (textbook type) engineering titles potentially of interest.
