I cannot even imagine a machinist's school that would teach this more properly for tuition than what we have here for the price of watching a couple of ads.
Machinist school doesn't teach about hobby tool making. It teach you to use these tools because they are common tool. Exemple I saw available on market look like the multiple tooth gear cutter, bit it has more tooth, and also they are stacked on top of an other (looking like corn lmao). Everything is about producing part fast and using the full potential of machines costing in the 6 digits. Now then it is possible to learn the skills and to apply them to hobby machining, but sadly in school many things are forgotten in the progress of technology. I've gone to mechanical engineering and learnt to do technical drawing on paper, something that seem rare nowadays, so you know what I mean when we loose many skills
A thief breaking into a shed or workshop is usually only interested in stealing portable power tools - drills, routers, spare battery packs - little realising that the true value lies in tools like this. Lovely work, Chris.
@@mpetersen6I knew someone who built up an entire machine shop from government surplus auctions and had to give it all back for two years because the items were never properly written off before going to auction.
I second everyone else, I went to machine shop classes in the 80’s and they didn’t cover this like you did. Thank you Chris. Even if I never cut a gear all knowledge is good.
It's always so fun watching your videos, Chris! You have a certain kind of positivity and interest that is always pleasant to hear. Your work is really good, and I hope that you continue to enjoy what it is that you do. 😁
Dad says he has a man in his machine shop he hired 12 years ago that makes cutters for him; he can look at the metal, look at the order sheet and eyeball the parts into cutters on the machines. It’s actually freaking amazing.
Stunning craftsmanship. I’ve worked in precision engineering for 30 years and you don’t see this attention to detail often, if at all; and it’s all in a home workshop.
It is astonishing to me what you’re able to create in your workshop. The knowledge and patience to do it in the first place coupled with incredible filming and natural teaching style is a joy to watch. I’m unlikely to ever need to make a gear like that and I’m now 30min late to work and I still consider it time well spent. Thank you for showing what is possible through application and dedication. Absolutely love your channel!
30:40 This is the payoff shot was was waiting for the whole video. Seeing 2 finished gears spin together, especially with the mixed color metals was so satisfying.
As someone experiencing summer in the northern hemisphere we need more instructions on "Flycutters" 😀I am as always in awe of your skills. Seeing you work somewhat demystifies how we got our achievements done. I am a mere electrician, not much space for creativity there... for a damn good reason i might ad 😀 I however had the opportunity to work with some lathes, mills and grinders. We were trained to aim for the 1/500mm.
All I can say is "WOW"!!! Now all those ancient magazine articles I have downloaded discussing making gear cutters make sense. And now I see that for cutting very small gears with fine teeth, this method is necessary... Thanks again
Hello Chris, morning from mere mortal land. A great video, you must stay awake half the night thinking up operation sequences! Looking forward to the next one.
I think it's awesome how you can make one tool have multiple functions, like the arbor in this video and your sharpening tool in a previous one...which (spoiler alert) seems to be designed to sharpen this involute cutter as well.
I've been a machinist since the early 70's and have seen a done a lot of things, but your skill, knowledge and craftmanship never fails to impress me,,thank you sir👍👍👍👍
This is some seriously good filming and subject manner. I have yet to hear a voice over that's better. Combine that with the different tracks of music and shop sound. Impressive.
Years ago when I machined barrels for John Martz the Luger carbine maker from Lincoln, CA , they had to have a relief tool made similar to the gear cutters here. I took a keyseat cutter of the correct width and placed it in a collet in my endmill grinding machine and used a thin silicon carbide green grinding wheel and/or Aluminum Oxide and radiused the correct form and ground one side then the other. Because I used a keyseat cutter to begin with the correct cutting geometry was already there I just cut the form and I did one cutter in M2 tool steel and Carbide. All that was left was to set my barrel in a jig that presented the top rear of the chamber to the cutter and I found center and began cutting. Working on parts for John Martz and his Luger carbines I made alot of form tools from Woodruff keyseat cutters mainly because they had cutting teeth from six (6) teeth to twenty four (24) teeth and the finish they gave to the formed design of the part for the Luger carbine was very clean, smooth and without chatter. Everything wound up in a compartment in a cabinet with a description on the box with the jig, special cutter and picture of the part made by the tools. It was complicated somewhat but not nearly as much as the method used by Clickspring. I also didn't have any hardening of the cutter to do.
Same as the others, but what I'd like to add is that I really enjoy the music selection in this one. It's easy on the ears and unobtrusive, and I kinda actually want to find the(se) artist(s) and binge more of their tracks.
Chris, as always another display of the the complete package here in this video. The mastery of your various crafts, toolmaking, videography and your ability to communicate it all clearly for others to follow and enjoy! Second to none mate 👍
a form tool is shaped for cutting a form. such as an involute. threads. etc. a formed tool is back relieved in a way so when sharpened, no special consideration is required to keep the form correct. when form tools are relieved to a straight clearance angle, the shape changes as you grind back for sharpening and setting up is tricky... like putting back rake on a threading tool, you change the profile of the thread.
I love this series, Chris! An additional tip for my fellow viewers: it's important to make sure your sharpening stones stay flat as they wear. Get yourself a flattening stone when you buy your first (or next) sharpening stone, & use it before every sharpening session. This can help steer clear of some pernicious angle and finish problems.
Excelent video best I have ever seen clear and to the point with the cost of tooling it is the only way to go make your own thanks will look put for your videos
Really love this video series. Now I'd be interested in how well the teeth mesh with eachother. Or having a pair of these gears shown running together under power would be the ultimate proof of functionality. Hope we get that in the next video.
I cannot even imagine a machinist's school that would teach this more properly for tuition than what we have here for the price of watching a couple of ads.
It's a lifetime of tool and dye architecture 😮

Hold strong and never pay for TH-cam premium
@@stuartbutler7452 I'm questioning myself right now whether or not that is irony.
Chris, Your close up cinematography is first rate. I love it when I see the tool marks and they are sharp and infects. Brilliant man!

I knew one gentleman that had his lathe stolen out of garage.

The value (for the theif) is in the genetic fencing price. Not something single purpose and recognisable.
Shop i worked at had the carbide insert box bolted to the floor. It was the most valueable thing that 1-2 people could lift out of the shop by hand
@@InsideOfMyOwnMind, He should have charged them for storage for the two years that he had them. Lol

This easily was one of the most beautiful and best filmed videos I have seen on YT, ever. Eye-wateringly beautiful in fact. Thank you!!
This is one of the highest quality “how-to” videos ever created. Thank you @clickspring from the bottoms of our hearts.
Your thumbnail test gives me shivers all through my body
Makes me rub my nail for hours after, can't bear it
Chris these are my absolute favorite of all your types of video's. Tools tools glorious tools ya baby
This is insane quality... and those graphs over still images are wonderful... thanks!

Gorgeous music and cinematography ❤
That zero backlash on the rack and gear is just beautiful. As always, a master class.
You are the public face of math, meets art, meets science, meets teaching. Thank you for sharing.
For oxidation protection during heat treatment, my father used stainless foil packets with a bit of paper inside to consume oxygen
That's what I'm used to doing too. But it doesn't always work as good as Id like in my experience, I'll have to try this next time.
Foil pack with a drop of oil inside is my experience.
The fly cutter section was a nice little addendum. 😂
Привет, Крис. Ваши видео имеют практически терапевтический характер. Это невероятно. Благодарю вас.
Great work as always . It is so pleasurable to watch such a great craftsman work .
ngl -- Your videos, background tunes, voice, and machining perfection are ASMR to me.
That is some seriously fine machine work.
Fascinating as always, Chris! You are not only a master of your craft, but also an excellent teacher.
That sharpening jig is so cool!
Knowledge, Skill and Patience 👍🏻
Just awesome Chris.
Thank you Sir 😊
So glad you showed the gears meshing.

Thank you for doing this for us.
In my opinion you are a talented mechanic. Thank you for sharing your videos with me and everyone, it's very useful
This is some seriously good filming and subject manner. I have yet to hear a voice over that's better. Combine that with the different tracks of music and shop sound. Impressive.
Elegant… that is a nice way to do it and the calculator, used to be only in a few books many inches thick.
Even though i´m basicly a toolmaker, i´ve lerned a lot in your videos how to create divices and tools. Thanks for your nice videos :)
Amazing detailed vid as always Chris another home run ball knocked out the park

been a fan for many years - love your videos and learning all the processes needed for each machining job. i feel smarter for just watching them.
bugger ... missed this one... found it now :)

What would be cool to see would be the use of a strobe light to stop, slow down to cutter head.
Hi Chris. Another excellent video.
Chris, it's so good to hear your voice again! It's always a treat to watch your amazing skills at work! Have a wonderful day!
Yay! Cool !! You do need that maths (triangles) you were taught when you were 12 yrs old. I hope you learned it.
outstanding job, outstanding info. if only teachers had time to do this for apprentices.
Outstanding skills and superb commentary/filming 👏👏👌
Cheers Chris
its always mesmerising and relaxing watching these videos.
What a fascinating channel.
1st Class work Chris, truly amazing skills you have, thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed watching and learning, cheers from me. 😷👍👍👍
I've been watching your content for years. Outstanding work!
Thank you mate, terrific to have watching :)
You did a wonderful job on this! Thank you for your generosity with your time and knowledge.
Everything you make turns into pure gold!
Those gears are perfect!
Absolutely fascinating and beautifully filmed, too. Thanks for taking me along.
very nice and accurated job. congrate man.... so talented work

17:28 This is a happy cutter. Shown by the smiley face near the center hole ;-)
Excellent video & information. This (longer) format is much preferred- Thanks!
Already watched the series long ago on Patreon but its always worth a rewatch!
Excellent video as ever. Always informative and entertaining.
Amazing work as always. I hope you never stop helping me learn!
I really enjoyed it 👍
Awesome series Chris. Thank you for sharing. This is a wonderful addition to the Porter and Law books that I have read.
Excelent video best I have ever seen clear and to the point with the cost of tooling it is the only way to go make your own thanks will look put for your videos
Maybe one day you’ll have a multi-axis Swiss machining center to marvel at and make incredible parts… even super precise micro scaled parts.
Clever clever clever! I just love your explanations and videos, brilliant.
A very nice job!
Don't be fooled gent's! he's not the casual machinist, he's a damn clocksmith! 🍻
And then some!
(Chris, this is beyond finest craftsmanship)
Really love this video series. Now I'd be interested in how well the teeth mesh with eachother. Or having a pair of these gears shown running together under power would be the ultimate proof of functionality. Hope we get that in the next video.
Once again what a great video I like to watch and learn 👍
Work of art
Thx for another vid Chris, you're the best!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Top Job!
Amazing!
Great, more than great 👍 👍 I enjoy every second of the video. Hi standard skills.
Thank you.
Nicely done; thanks for this!!
Simply Awesome!!!
Love love love your videos.
As always, EXCELLENT!
Outstanding
OMG this is absolutely great
