Creeping up on a register is an exercise in patience whilst having two fingers crossed. 🤞 Well done. Thank you for sharing yet another interesting and informative episode. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew
Gday Andrew, that’s good news you have the cutters on there way, all the machining turned out spot on and no runout, perfect, great job as always mate, Cheers
Great outcome Andrew. Glad to see you Plunge milling to cut the shaft keyway, you see how much quicker it was than the shallow depth and winding to and fro method and you cutter will last longer. Regards from Australia.
Andrew with regards to the bearing being a loose fit on the shaft an old engineers trick is to use the edge of a flat hand file. Place the shaft on a flat surface and press down hard with the edge of the file whilst rolling the shaft. It should if the file is sharp give you a VERY light knurl. Another option is some VERY light centre pop marks equi spaced. Regards from Australia.
Hi Dave that is very helpful. I was just about to use some loctite 638 and was concerned as it is quite permanent. I will give your tip a try. Nothing ventured nothing gained! Cheers Andrew
Hi Dave - quick update. I tried the file method but the silver steel was too hard to make a decent impression. However, using light centre pops did the trick!👍 Thanks for the great tip. Cheers Andrew
Thanks for yet one more entertaining video well filmed and produced. Time 04:38. Brilliant idea to solve clamping in the mill. (Not popular work here, changing chucks and similar.)
I started this engine ealier then you Andrew and because, like you the 48dp cutters were unavailable, I used 0.5 module cutters which are very close to 48DP and all went well. I am just building up the heads at present and look forward to seeing your progress.
Hi Keith. When I started on the v-twin I reworked the drawing to mod 0.5. To get similar pitch circle diameters I ended up with slightly different numbers of teeth. Then I saw the paragraph on the last page of the drawings. I struggled to apply the same logic to my teeth so I bottled it. Maybe I was just being over cautious. Good luck with your build. Andrew
Nice work Andrew. I'm experiencing a problem of purchasing gear cutters too. Unfortunately everything is all on hold so I might have start another project. 🙉
Hi Craig. If you are making the jh v-twin and can't get the 48DP cutters, drop me an email to learningturningmetal@gmail.com. I'm always pretty busy but maybe we could work something out. Maybe something like you machine the blanks and I cut the teeth. Cheers Andrew
Thanks Earl. Yesterday my postie said that there was a package waiting for customs fees to be paid. Looks like USPS delivered on this one! Fingers crossed I will get the cutters today! All the best. Andrew

Thanks Andrew. Yeah it's easy to remove metal but difficult to add it!
Cheers

Nice machine work, Andrew. I'm excited to see the next installment. I think gear hobbing is fascinating.
Thanks mate. Fingers crossed it will turn out okay.
Cheers
Andrew
Hello Andrew,
Very nice work indeed... Enjoyable viewing, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
Another step in the right direction, it's a interesting project.
Thanks Nicholas. I hope it turns out ok.
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks Matty!
ANDREW
The result is not bad at all.
Nice job
👍👍👍👍👍
Not looking bad so far! I will have to make a nameplate for it!
Cheers

Thanks Dave. Now that is one of the many tips you gave me that I actually remember 😵💫
All the best.

Hi Andrew. Amazing work mate. You’ve done an great job on that. Was very impressed with the finished item, especially zero runout. Cheers Aaron
Thanks Aaron!
Nice bit of work. Very satisfying to get those fits just right and the accuracy of the run out at the end was most impressive. Looking good.
Cheers Tim!
Nice job. The runout was very good.
Thanks mate!
Excellent work Andrew!
Thanks mate!
Interesting stuff Andrew. This is an interesting project and will be good to see how it turns out. Regards Kevin
Cheers Kevin.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Craig!
That was getting pretty tense there Andrew 😬 😅
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Ha ha, cheers Rick.

Nice work Andrew. I'm experiencing a problem of purchasing gear cutters too. Unfortunately everything is all on hold so I might have start another project. 🙉

Great stuff Andrew. I just love hobby engineering but have never had any interest at all in electrical things.
Thanks Dermot. I don't really understand electronics but find it a fascinating subject.
Cheers

Making progress Andrew. I hope the USPS is not sending the cutters via Carrier Pigeon. Be well.
Thanks Earl. Yesterday my postie said that there was a package waiting for customs fees to be paid. Looks like USPS delivered on this one! Fingers crossed I will get the cutters today!
All the best.
Andrew
@@learningturningmetal I guess the Carrier Pigeon must have had a tail wind. You will be back into the gear cutting business soon. Be well.
👍👍😎👍👍
later decided you cut too much?
No, I just changed my mind.
Cheers
Andrew
😉 roight 😉👌👍
Do never give your lathe a hand with the stringy chips 😞. (just trying to make a pun)
Really enjoying this series. You always leave us wanting more so you get one of these: 👍. 🥸
Thanks Joe 😃
