Thanks for the great feedback! Stay tuned as I have a major software update which is gonna add lots of new features to the DRO you've seen so far!

Hi Petern! When hobbing we use the sync mode of DRDRO, there is an encoder mounted on the machine spindle that tracks the position, with it we perform synchronized motion of the dividing head with the specified ratio. This is also the mode we use when using the DRO in ELS mode, or when performing spiral grinding/machining. Thanks for your kind interest in this project!

@@stefanobertelli2650 that’s awesome. Can it also be used to shape gears close to a shoulder also known as gear skiving? Andy’s Machines adapted an old mini mill head to do that but he is using assembly for the code. :(

Yes you can do skiving as well, the sync method is the same

Thanks! 👍

But you know I’ll have to keep pushing it a bit next is helical gears :)!

Keep'em Coming! Cheers!

Thank Mark! Hopefully the video gives some hints on how to find out the helix angle, I think you asked about it some time ago

@@stefanobertelli2650 Yep, that is what I meant.

Grazie Fratello!

Thank you! Hope you're enjoying the content :)

Luke let's pimp your Clarkson :)

@@stefanobertelli2650 yes but it will take some work to get it there

Thanks for you kind words!

Thanks for coming!

Thanks for subbing!

Thank you!

Thanks Luke! You’re always too kind :) let’s get your clarkson equipped with the dro!

Yes can’t wait to pimp out the clarkson but I need to get some scales first. Then build a decent work head for it so still a fair bit of work to do

Awesome Mark! It sure takes a lot of time to edit the videos, I'm still a long ways from your level :) We need to get a DRO mounted on your Clarkson!!!

@@stefanobertelli2650 How do you dial in your end mill flute spiral? My mates mechanical Heller has an infinitely adjustable angle (conical friction drive) so you put a clock on a flute and just dial the angle till you get no movement on the clock. You could do the same with an jog encoder input to set the ratio.

@RotarySMP part2 of the video will show exactly that, the naive approach i took for this quick demo was just trial and error with a dial test indicator. The monoset manual suggests a clever way of doing the helix pickup that i will show in the upcoming videos as well.

@@stefanobertelli2650 Cool. You are doing a great project there.

@@galenpress9460 I’m in beta testing now. Send me a message at stefano@provvedo.com and we’ll figure out something 🙂🙏

Glad you liked it!

That’s definitely the issue, i’m gonna replace those next! Thanks for the feedback, the spindle is from amazon, jist one of the clones available for cheap.

@@stefanobertelli2650 Note that there are two parts that mesh with drive dogs. The Spindle Pulley Hub, and the Splined gear hub. These parts are very expensive. I have seen people re-flle them to fit tight, but I don't know if that is a good repair or not. When new, the tapered dogs do not mesh all the way to allow for wear. Again, note that the import parts will not fit the Bridgeport. You can check for wear by looking through the air vent at the top of the speed dial. Note the mesh and rock the spindle back and forth. Also, if there is less or no noise when in Back Gear (low speed) since they come out of mesh. Regards

Luke you're always to kind :) Thanks for watching! I wanna see your videos on YT soon as well

@@stefanobertelli2650 well ill have to work on that

Thank yoi!

Thanks Luke! Always too kind 🙂🙏

Send your mills over here but i cant promise you they’ll come back 😅

@@stefanobertelli2650 Fun fact, if Luke sends some end mills, some of them might have come from you, Stefano :) I shared some of your endmil largess with Luke.

@@stefanobertelli2650 That's a pity as I was hoping for more back with your magic :)

Thanks!

I’m still very much a rookie! Thanks!

@@stefanobertelli2650 Keep going. You will do well.

Thanks Luke!
