Shaper Machine - Involute Gear Cutting

MRPETE! FOR THE WIN!

Very nice work...

Hi, is possible to cut a bevel gear on a shaper machine ?

great video thank you for taking the time to make it. if one has a dividing head can one use it for the rotation?

Fallo un diente,con un plato Divisor no uviera pasado,igual Vale la demostracion !!

I would like to get some thoughts on how this might be done with a planer instead of a shaper.

Hi what's name simulator software that you're using that

the shaper is such a beautiful machine in how it operates

Use a rack gear instead of a wire.

Thanks for the chuckle bud 😄

I had a mini heart attack when you said bing search

Thanks. This inspired me to create my own contraption. A flattened and reduced version of yours.

No part 2?? :(

This is a commendable initiative. The people need to take back gear cutting!

Oops! Lol

I work in a gear shop in the US and gotta say very cool man. Hats off to you for a great video and commentary. Keep up the good work.

Funny machining videos, thats a new genre

I love the video, I love all the great comments about how to improve on your design. me personally, I would have used the shaper as it was intended. grind/buy a gear cutter that you need. without a shadow graph it would be very hard to precisely match the grind needed. buying the proper cutter, mounting it to the spindle you made and taking .020 step downs from z until full depth is reached. then rotating manually to the next tooth and repeat. they actually make gear cutting heads that you can mount to your planer. they have a series of graduated dots and you turn a handle to get you exact rotation need for next tooth. anyways loved the video anyway, single point radius cutting on a rotation is pretty cool.

The intro of this video was fantastic. Love the Mr. Pete samples. You should drop a machinist electronic album. Lmao

I have no recollection of watching this the first time, but I'm glad I watched it a second time.

Loved the video! cutting gears the old-school way is super attractive to me. somehow it's very trendy nowadays to make everything super complicated and pretend as if it can't be done without thousands of dollars of precision equipment. but people did it back in the day using rudimentary tools and sometimes with better results than what some achieve using fancy tools.

I was cheering all the way until to the end like all people said :
OOOOHHH...!!!
But very creative mate 👍

Ебатня, удг используй👍

First off, great video, very inspiring! Reading through the article a few times, I notice it says the tool should be made "to the form of a rack tooth", which makes sense since rack teeth have straight sides. According to the Machinery's Handbook, and if my math is right, that would make the tip width = (0.5 π - 2.5 tan φ) / P. (P = diametral pitch, φ = pressure angle). For instance, for a 24 pitch gear, the tip width would be 0.028". Can't wait to try it myself!

Hi, I really liked your video. One help please, what software did you use to simulate the formation of the gear tooth?

What is the manufacturers name of the lathe tool holder??? How does that compare to an Aloris type ??? The shaping of gears on a shaper you started needs two improvements. First the use of a rack and pinion near the throat. Second the use of a dividing head on the other end. This would work perfect. But the time to cut the gear will not make you money for sure. Good day too. VF

That was the cleverest, most interesting, failure I ever watched for 17 and a half minutes. 👍😉

very cool intro pulling out the big guns

A setscrew is not nearly good enough to prevent slipping of the cable/drive wheel on the shaft. That should be pinned! Your link scheme (only 1) should work as long as you keep the extent of the arc short & the fittings TIGHT.

You need an invalute gear cutting attachment for shapers. I’m sure you can find prints for one and make it yourself

Part two ? That’s the episode after part one btw.

Why last teeth small

a shaper index table is how to cut gears on a shaper. he didn't do a lot of research

I Would love to know what software he used to find that edge width

Haven’t seen the inventiveness and creativity since the classic, “This Old Tony” videos. I have to say, Bravo! Your answer is either a dividing head, or a rack and pinion set..

great idea, and anyway, watchmakers made gears by only slot cutting, the "shape" is made on a special filing machine called a 'jacott tool', this is just a lathe like holding fixture, to index the slots, and you manually file the shape, like dressing a chainsaw chain, SAME PROCESS, just a different jig to hold the part/ guide the file!!- also the name of this process is called "topping" the gear teeth, for refference.

instead of using just one cable, try something like 10 or twenty. All laid side by side on the same cylinder. Multiple cables will increase stiffness and reduce errors. Tension a pair (loop) of cables from one end only to wind up the pre-tension.

Still waiting with bated breath for the second part ..

Мне показалось, что при затягивании стопорного болта было смещение заготовки, наверное изза этого и вышло так.

What program did you use to do that simulation on, great video

Hi, I just bought such a machine :)
Almost a week has been standing still not unloaded from the car :(

P.S.
What I could, I left on your interesting channel;)

This is my favourite video of yours! Especially the ref to the handbook.

I just released a video on the topic of calculating the tip width. I made a python tool that automates your advanced simulations which you may be interested in if you try this again. Thanks for this video, it was inspirational and funny!

I subscribed as soon as I saw the shaper. It got way better after that, you sir are a legend

This video is freakin' awesome....

I think the problem was with the wire slipping on the spindle.
