Cutting a spur gear for the AL-54B Lathe




Today's topic is actually gear cutting  so we start off with showing you the set  up on the vertical middle so the middle  used here is a x but I acquired from  hearing Forbes so what you see here you  probably are about a dozen steps ahead  now because one of the first things you  need to do is prepare the gear blanks so  mounted here at the moment is likely a  grip a brass gear blank but anyway.

 We  started off from a big chunk of   millimeter solid brass rod so all that's  left of that  millimetres is just  what I have over here today so this is  it so that's the original finish and  what I had to do is turn it down like  this make the tip that get rid of the  finish as it comes out of it gone still  and then had to bore that exactly.

 Millimeters that's the our bore sighs  what's mounted in my light so the gears  I'm making they are meant for the change  gears of the light so that's been faced  that's been turned that's been chamfered  every day so that's what the gear blank  looks like when it's not parted off from  the main piece of material other bits of  preparation of course aside from that  had to make to make a mandrel over here.
