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.
