    Default I feel so manly now

    Made my first gear, a 21 tooth change gear for cutting metric threads on a 7 x. I could have bought one, but now I know how to make any size. It's not perfect, but it will work and the next one will be better.

    Nice job! I wouldn't have a clue how to make that

    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

    Thank you, fellow HSMs. It wasn't really hard at all. The hardest part is cutting the form tool. I was intimidated by dividing plates, but once I started to do it, it was cake. After setup, the hardest part is counting three turns. I missed the keyway a little, but it will work. I'll snap a shot of the setup this weekend. Not much "meat" between the keyway and the valleys between the teeth, so I might make one from brass. This will get me through the one metric thread I need to cut for a project, but it will be nice to have a 21 tooth, as it really opens up thread capabilities. You can also buy a set for $2.50 from allelectronics.com, but I wanted to slay the dragon. Dragon sleighed

    Congrats on the gear! I need to start getting in to rotary type tooling and work holding... it's getting to where it would be handy for so much.

    Knudsen, you're such a gear-head! NICE JOB!!!!!

    Sorry Troy, I was looking for a Barney-looking dragon, but couldn't find one. :rainfro:


    Actually, I feel like this when I trim the toenails on our iguana!

    Yeah, ummm, I'm gonna need you to ship me one of those so I can examine it real close to see how good a job you really did. I *might* send it back when I'm done.
