Thanks to Tel, circlip and others here's a way of making simple bevel gears on a mini-lathe...

Nice, I will be making one of those indexing attachments.

Great site you have by the way.

Nice! Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
This forum has opened up a world of possibilities to me that can be achieved with minimal equipment. To be able to achieve the results in an unconventional way is much more fun than it would be otherwise. I've already seen some seriously puzzled facial expressions after mentioning that I am going to cut gears on the lathe ;D ;D

Ordinary gears will be easier still hopefully - a simple disc for the gearwheel, the same tool used parallel to the bed and the simple indexer.

That is a slick idea! I am thinking you could do much the same to cut slines on a shaft...

Thanks in advance
