    Default Internal Gear Cutting

    Hi,
    I have figured out how to cut a normal gear but the project i am working on requires a internal spur gear. how would you go about cutting a internal spur gear.

    thanks

    Normally, internal gears are cut on a gear shaper. The cutting tools are made to cut the internal tooth form.

    An internal gear can also be produced on a mill with a shaper attachment and a rotary table; a horizontal shaper with a rotary table mounted vertically; a vertical shaper/slotter or? Could also be produced on a wire EDM.

    Be sure you know what the correct INTERNAL gear tooth form is. Your tool must match that form as the tool determines the form.

    In addition to the above.
    You can also rig an indexing disk to a lathe spindle and wheel the carriage in and out like a shaper.
    Or if you are real patient you could layout the gear teeth, use a drill press and a scroll saw to rough it out then a die filing machine to finish to the line. It will get you something that looks like a gear but would only be usefull for slow speed crude power transmission.

    you can do this on a lathe (it's called a rotary broach made in michigan)

    or use a "Polikely" check the videos out on a mill

    Here is the email of a guy who makes a rotary broach holder that is about 1/3rd the cost of Slater Tools holder. cmgmachining@juno.com

    You still need to buy a rotary broach from Slater, but you can save some money on the holder.

    I will warn you tho, you will need to have a LOT of force at your disposal to force the broach into your tool. I'm sure a Tormach would do it, but I do know that my old Southbend Magnaturn didn't have anywhere near enough force to do it.
