I'm Italian and I do appreciate not only your humour but also the way you make a person like me, a complete stranger to any concept even vaguely related to metal working, intrigued enough by the topic, to the point that now I'm thinking to buy a small lathe and start working with it! You're great! Thank you!
I doubt you come back here to check out old used comments like this, but I digress... I like to watch this video every few months to get geared up for using a dividing head. I still haven’t professionally used one yet but every few months I get ready! I appreciate you ToT.
I can only imagine you at parties... *door bell rings* Oh Hi T-dawg! So glade you could co..... why do you have a block of metal and some string? Also where are you pants?......
Such a high ratio of punny b astards in here. This could probably just go round and round. I think we were all cut from the same stock. I'd be hard pressed to change gears on the topic but I'm ending this transmission now.
So, how do I go about nominating you for teacher of the year? I'm serious. After 4 years of college (one of which in a physics/engineering masters curriculum) and three years in grad school, I'm hard pressed to think of one professor who could do as well as you do breaking these concepts down into easily digestible tidbits. Thanks for all your hard work on these! Most of us really appreciate it! Except my wife. Keeps reminding me of everything around the house that needs to be fixed while I'm watching your videos.
I,m 65.... Have been building dramatic , moving Steampunk art with many sets of gears driving gears driving other things. Never understood HOW they fit or did not. Now I have grasped so much of the systems teeth shape , size , and cut. Just to let you know that your videos meant some enlightenment to someone ( My name on TH-cam .... some videos .....Steampunk Head Test run ) ! Thanks
Fun fact: The Modul - System is directly copied from the DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm => German Industrial Norm) The Z means "Zähne" => teeth The DIN was developed to join together the German Production more tightly and make parts and tooling interchangeable. (why have BFS,UNF,UNC,NPT, BSP, JIS,SAE and what not bolts if you simply could use DIN-bolts) But also to make the German machine parts and tools useless to the enemies by making everything a little bit different. But the Prussians where to damn efficient. ;-) French and other started to copy the norms and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) was established. Many DI-Norms where directly copied to ISO.
@@nivram6092 You are right an wrong. First DIN was the shorthand for "Deutsche Industrie Norm" as seen in "DI-Norm 1" and the organization was called "Normenausschuss der deutschen Industrie".

It's a sad commentary on the world that TOT doesn't have several million subscribers. Knowledge, solid camera work and editing, and continual string of subtle humor all combine to keep me LOCKED onto these videos and coming away smarter a half-hour later. TOT is what public school should have been. Thank you Tony!
Old Tony, Thank you for the gear tooth tutorial. I spent a career repairing and maintaining machine shop machinery. We were primarily a milling, turning, Blanchard grinding and cylindrical grinding shop, but we did our own gear machining. We just machined spur gears, but we machined straight and helical gears. When I started, we hobbed on Barber Coleman's and shaped on a Fellows. We moved on to CNC hobbing and then to grinding our precision gears. Our hobbing machine was a Pfauter and our grinder was a Gleason. Gleason is far better known automotive gear machining, but they wanted into the spur gear market in the 1990's. They acquired Pfauter and had Okomoto make their grinding machines. This relationship had me make multiple trips to the Gleason plant in NY. So I repaired and maintained gear making machinery, but I was never trained as a machinist. I am an electrician/mechanic. Your gear tutorial was just the ticket for a retired repairman who is now trying to be a hobby machinist. I recently purchased my first super spacer, but haven't used it yet... But it did give me a legitimate excuse to purchase a set of 5C collets.
Fun fact, there are a couple 3D programs that have cogwheel shapes with adjustable settings for teeth, addendum, pitch, module, etc. You just explained how to use those settings better than the user manual. And it WAS written by a dude with a degree in physical therapy. Probably.
We asked Tony if he had a degree in theoretical physics, he answered that he had a theoretical degree in physics. Then he said he had a physical degree in therapy. After some stammering and mumbling about imperial decrees on therapy we hired him... He has the only candidate. It was a very confusing day.
I have a weird set of antennae which seem sensitive to slightly different things than most people (ah, life on the Spectrum!)I have met, when I watch or rather"watched"(past tense) Clickspring I felt overwhelmed by what my indicators were warning me was queasiness-inducing self-indulgence ( polite verb ) it was, initially the way he splashed that Steel Blue all over the place but the longer I watched the more queasy I felt until all I could think of was "click unsubscribe" which I did.
Tony, as all your videos are, this one was excellently produced and remarkably informative. With as much humility as is possible in a comment about how much I know, I would say I have a fairly deep knowledge base and understanding of machining for someone who like yourself is not a professional machinist. However the relationships of diametral pitch, cutter sets, and the other various technicalities of gear machining were one of those topics that I generally understood, but wouldn’t have said I was clear enough on to be comfortable trying to explain it. Like you do with every subject, you made this incredibly complex subject very easy to get one’s head around and allowed it to finally “click” for me. I even wished you had gone ahead into the topic of pressure angles because I’m sure you would have made that subject much more comprehensible as well. I don’t know what trade your day job is, but you are an EXCELLENT teacher! I sincerely thank you for all of the time and effort you put into producing your videos and publishing them so graciously for all of us. Not only are they valuable as a learning resource, your razor sharp wit and perfectly precise timing with humor make your videos probably my favorite content to watch of any media! Great job! And by the way, this video was not too long at all in my opinion. I would happily watch any video you put out of twice this length and still not feel it was too much!
A bit late of a comment but i would assume this(youtube) is his day job..He should make enough on it anyway.. What he did before that though.. Probably(hopefully) involved some teaching. :P
Back in the late '80s, if I had Old Tony, Clickspring, and Matthias Wandel when I did Design and Realization (aka Shop, in both wood, and metal; you were given a brief, and not only had you had to draw a design around it using a drawing board with a parallel motion, etc, but then you had to build the said thing off of your own drawings ...), I would have learnt, and retained, way more; but watching all three, plus Abom '79, Stefan, and many others, have jogged memories of almost 30 years ago ... I wish I could get into being a machinist, but due to space and budget (but mostly space ...), the closest I can get to is a Sherline lathe and mill. I am eyeing upgrades for both, but, if I want to go all in, I am guessing on around $8k+ for both, inclusive of enabled manual and CNC operations ...
@@nigelft hey! Are you an engineering??? I am a young kid aspiring to be an engineer! Please tell me if engineering is what you have to do to be in the path of a machinist??
@@abdulkarimhalai6708 I'm sure there are sources of better answers to your question here, but .... a machinist applies engineering to produce a product. Mostly they learn through apprenticeship. The choice of if and when to learn engineering principles is up to the individual. I hope this helps you.
After years of watching your videos, that have taught me TIG welding and how to build a CNC, I finally got an old BV20 lathe from an old metal fabricator who's retiring. I think I might have to make gears for it, but I don't have a mill, so a video on how to make these with just a lathe would be amazing! Thank you Tony, this is easily my favourite channel of all time.
Dear This Old Tony, I've been an avid watcher of your chanel for some time now and I always love it when you create every-day components like the pasta machine for example. I'm personally really interested in knife sharpening and stumbled across guided sharpeners some weeks ago and although I still prefer good old hand-sharpening, it would be incredible to see a heavy-duty, overengineered version made by you! Greetings from Germany and thank you so much for your commitment and great quality videos that never fail to entertain!
I learned about gear machining in trade school and thought, "I'll never need this crap". Two years later... ran a hob and shaper everyday for the next 5 years. THIS is some surprisingly valuable info. Thanks, Tony.
We never even got to a use a square collet block at my trade school. Suffice it to say, any dividing head, spindexing stuff is on the job learning for me.
Mechanical engineer here from Germany. I suffered through prehistoric textbooks from my prof to learn this. I wish i knew this video existed for so long already. This video is gold!
I’m always impressed on how a machinist, who’s not required to have an engineering degree to perform your function, can be creative nowadays but, even more impressed I am with the machinists way back in time when there were no examples nor it had been done before professionals to show the way but, beyond our imagination, THEY MADE IT!!! Imagine watching those hits, without cnc, no electricity for smaller machines muscle operated, no special tools/holders what they had to make it instead, and no Amazon/eBay/TH-cam/etc!!!! Totally amazing!!!!! Thank you for your very detailed explanations!!!!!!!
You make a fantastic teacher. The way you share your knowledge using humor and props is better than any teacher I've seen. I absolutely love your videos
@@ThisOldTony our math teacher was german,mr zemburgs. ..if,,you did something bad, he would give you 2 #. to multiply together, 100 times. like 7429 over 539. mess around in the machineshop.. go make me a 63 tooth x 7" gear . yup,that would be worserer..
well done, I recommended your channel to my college machine design professor to help educate students on how tools and machine components are actually made to help with the designing process. Love your work
I've designed gears and drive systems in my day and this explanation is the most scienterrific way anyone could explain this topic. 😄 Great videos Old Tony!👍
You remind me of my high school shop teacher, he was very articulate when it came to explaining the basic processes of making stuff. Weather it was wood, metal or electrical devices he did it all, and with a sense of humor to boot. Though he never joked about racks.
U listeing for real, i just do wathc for fun while drunkg, even silver. Im welder so some stuff is educeducational but i often just dissagree or facepalm
It’s been 25 years since I graduated from comprehensive School and this video brought back all the math in such a practical way I think parts of my skull blew out! This is an extremely useful video. Even if the gears didn’t fit. Mine finally did! 😁
I laugh nervously at the “Great one more stinkin’ thing I’ll need channel” ....as I wait for my 400lb lathe to arrive in the post. Before I watched this channel I was happy with a cordless drill and a few screwdriver bits. Now I’m contemplating whether a TIG welder will hook up to my standard 13A power supply.
there is an old wives tail, that tony has a cnc crafted cat-o-nine tails held in a secret vault for all those that mention AVE ... by the way tony how often do you read these dobly dos ....
I searched far and wide for atmost 5 days I did not get that now I was able to , this is the best explanation on internet about indexing mechanism 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's not too long- there a tremendous amount of understanding and knowledge - and starting out, every single bit is invaluable - and I have gotten what I couldn't get elsewhere from here , so don't be negative about the length because it was all important for my developing understanding of gear development and using a mini lathe, which for a first video that I've found that's what I'm going to be needing a mini lathe for, the information here was invaluable my friend, and thank you for your patience making this. Much appreciated!!!!!!
Back in the day as a young moped mechanic starting out my journey in anything tool related, I would gladly grab whatever bolt or nut I could find and had no clue about fine or coarse threads. They all got together in the end with enough force and determination. Thankfully, I've almost gotten past that bad habit :)
I want so much that you keep working on improving that mini-lathe! It's so entertaining and interesting to see you "updating" it and making it better ^_^
@@ToreDL87 It does not matter. If TOT can put up these vids it can show us little people that are short on space and electric service(110 only) how we can make things on a metal lathe. That we can do for a reasonable entry price with half way decent accuracy.
@@dieselfueler Depends, for decent accuracy just put a chuck on a DC motor bolted to a piece of railway track and mill it within .5mm then lick the rest of with sandpaper, (field solutions the old timers used, but have personally done that a lot on rackety mills). I'm talking about Tesla-style facebook and selfie while driving in corners don't think about it accuracy, what mods are needed for this mill to get good enough accuracy that you can just mill it and be done, for possibly maybe lover-like equal treatment.
Those Flintstone prehistoric gears can be found in every drill, clock, grinder, printer, food mixer, concrete mixer, rotavator, tractor, lawn mower and anything else that has gear that is made in China! They even made of the same material!
Absolutely astounding. Never learned so much from one video. Thank you so much. I'm not a machinist, but I'm researching mini lathes to add one to my shop. Also watching your CNC videos as I want to build a small one too.
I don't have the means to get into machining at all, and have no knowledge in that department, so I absolutely appreciate you "insulting my intelligence", and your strategic wit which made understanding gears go down much smoother. I have no concrete idea of how to use my newfound knowledge, but I suppose that's what late night Youtubing is for.
That was absolutely awesome, I've learnt a huge amount about gears and how to go about cutting them and, nearly peed myself laughing, you have a fantastic way of teaching and I'm looking forward to watching more of your video's.... Thanks very much for sharing, take care...
Tony, thank you so very much for the videos you make. Though I am laughing continuously throughout the videos I am also learning so much. You truly are a gift to the TH-cam community.
I got the Mini-Lathe video recommended on my YT home page, and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching this channel. Man has a great sense of humor and is very informative.
Thank you Tony, the gear theory was really interesting. In case you didn't know, there are jumping insects that evolved gears, to synchronize both legs outputting the same power for the jump. So in case you ever need perfect gears for synchronizing leg power for a jump, google gears in insects to see how nature did it.
I watch from beginning to end with the occasional fast forward or speed increase. Like watching golf.I like learning and your a good teacher. Keep an' coming!
Yeah, but here power is equal to speed [rev/sec] multiplied by torque [N*m], so even if the gear train is free (no load at the output end) you need to put in some torque to keep spinning the damn thing.
@@donttouchthisatall my dad told me a long time ago that I had earned my PHD congratulation he said. I had to ask what did PHD stand for. He was eager to say POST HOLE DIGGER get to it boy you have 150 holes to dig for this new cow pasture.
11:32 he's got two number 9, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra teeth, a number 7, two number 45's one made of carbide and a large holder to fit them all.
0:28 Love the rebranding! Now that you've become the "GREAT! one more stinkin' thing I'll need" channel, my TOT shirt is a priceless collectible, right?! :-)))))
So, after watching this video, I decided that I couldn't live without a set of involute gear cutters. It seems that I bought mine from the same supplier you did, Tony, as: Mine have the same logo stamped to the left of the m1 and I didn't get the No.1 cutter. They have promised to send me the missing cutter. We'll see. Meanwhile, if you're reading this Tony......I hold you personally responsible if I've just bought yet another tool that I may never use! On the upside, they will help make my workshop look like I know what I'm doing.
I was always slightly interested in machining because of my mild steel fabrication background and always thought I was out of my depth trying to learn. I honestly found this inspiring to pursue it in further education and found this very digestible and easy to watch and glad I just found your channel. Look forward to binging your content tonight.
If ever a video needed a montage segment with a spinning clock, coffee pots being drained, calendar pages falling away, and "My dearest Emily..." voiceovers, it's the cutting-100-gear-teeth video.
Just jumping in to say that for better or worse, we cut a couple thousand gears with those prehistoric square teeth a week. Now back to the video. Also, fun fact: that truncated involute profile with the tips cut off was a cost saving measure by the auto industry. If you cut the tip off you save on cleaning up shipping damage. You can also then get finer and fuller contact patterns.
@@ThisOldTony you'd think so with the way people stress around here. Alas, we are but a little supplier to the big three. In automotive, many internal gears have that square tooth on the OD for things like parking gears.
@@nerd1000ify not quite, if my understanding is right, that gear has a planetary set inside of it which is inline with the drive shaft. When park is selected, the whole package is shuttled into a female spline that effectively locks the drive shaft to the bell housing. Take this with a pinch of salt though, I just keep the machines running, I've never torn down a transmission, just seen a lot of cut aways.
What you're talking about isn't a gear, it's a spline. It doesn't have to make rotating contact with another set of teeth, so the teeth can be any convenient shape.
TOTALLY AWESOME! just cleared my all the questions and doubts between rotary hear,, spin indexer and dividing head...... Thank you very much for this great explanation....
Love the video! I cam across the mini-lathe one before and I definitely appreciated it. This one is a hoot. Great sense of humor and you explain things very well. Information is layered up and provided in terms most people are able to understand. As an aspiring beginner machinist, I have now subscribed. Cheers!
Absolutely fantastic.... usually more interested in the welding content and yet here I was eating this up and loving every bit of it. Thanks for breaking this down, and keeping it entertaining while teaching!

Mechanical engineer here from Germany. I suffered through prehistoric textbooks from my prof to learn this. I wish i knew this video existed for so long already. This video is gold!

I’m always impressed on how a machinist, who’s not required to have an engineering degree to perform your function, can be creative nowadays but, even more impressed I am with the machinists way back in time when there were no examples nor it had been done before professionals to show the way but, beyond our imagination, THEY MADE IT!!! Imagine watching those hits, without cnc, no electricity for smaller machines muscle operated, no special tools/holders what they had to make it instead, and no Amazon/eBay/TH-cam/etc!!!!
Totally amazing!!!!!
Thank you for your very detailed explanations!!!!!!!
You make a fantastic teacher. The way you share your knowledge using humor and props is better than any teacher I've seen. I absolutely love your videos
This old tony! I learnt something! All jokes aside Sir. I'm not even into any of this, but just watching this was very inspiring.
That was fun to watch. Thank you!
JRE! those pumpkins must've really pushed you out hard to end up here. ;)
@@ThisOldTony lol. Just trying to expand my horizons during quarentine. You know how it is.
This explains why youtube has been showing me both your videos today
soon enough we'll be seeing zack cut phones with gear cutters
@@ThisOldTony our math teacher was german,mr zemburgs. ..if,,you did something bad, he would give you 2 #. to multiply together, 100 times. like 7429 over 539. mess around in the machineshop.. go make me a 63 tooth x 7" gear . yup,that would be worserer..
well done, I recommended your channel to my college machine design professor to help educate students on how tools and machine components are actually made to help with the designing process. Love your work
Before I watched this video I knew 0 about gears now I can say I know 1 about gears
In a binary world, you are The Gear-All-Knowing-Mighty-God!
... while in this world you are as a gear with Z = 1
I've designed gears and drive systems in my day and this explanation is the most scienterrific way anyone could explain this topic.
😄
Great videos Old Tony!👍
You remind me of my high school shop teacher, he was very articulate when it came to explaining the basic processes of making stuff. Weather it was wood, metal or electrical devices he did it all, and with a sense of humor to boot. Though he never joked about racks.
Racks are no joke ;)
Thanks for doing this video, I learned something. I can use tooling from my Hossfeld Bender to do demonstrations on how things work. :-)
Build Something Cool I wondered if anyone else noticed that too!
And I thought it was the anti flat earth statement at 10:00 :)

I learned about the Howie Mandel Glove trick
It’s been 25 years since I graduated from comprehensive School and this video brought back all the math in such a practical way I think parts of my skull blew out!
This is an extremely useful video. Even if the gears didn’t fit. Mine finally did! 😁
Those are some fine looking shop-made gears my man!

I laugh nervously at the “Great one more stinkin’ thing I’ll need channel” ....as I wait for my 400lb lathe to arrive in the post.
Before I watched this channel I was happy with a cordless drill and a few screwdriver bits. Now I’m contemplating whether a TIG welder will hook up to my standard 13A power supply.
It will if you believe it will

Well... there's always McDonalds... [fetches toolbox] 😁
The reference to Earthlings 101 was much appreciated, really miss that series.

I've been watching AvE waiting for Tony to upload, wasn't disappointed 😍
there is an old wives tail, that tony has a cnc crafted cat-o-nine tails held in a secret vault for all those that mention AVE ... by the way tony how often do you read these dobly dos ....

@@Nemod70 You forgot ABOM79...!!!
I searched far and wide for atmost 5 days I did not get that now I was able to , this is the best explanation on internet about indexing mechanism 🔥🔥🔥🔥
best gear cutting vid ever just starting on dividing now feel i got a grasp of what is going on thanks Tony
I'm afraid I must disagree with you, your videos are never too long. Too short maybe but never too long xD
Not only too short, but metric.
@@spudpud-T67 Metric's ok, I can cope with metric. It just means he's finally catching up with the rest of the world using base 10 ;)
spud pud that’s what she said
It's not too long- there a tremendous amount of understanding and knowledge - and starting out, every single bit is invaluable - and I have gotten what I couldn't get elsewhere from here , so don't be negative about the length because it was all important for my developing understanding of gear development and using a mini lathe, which for a first video that I've found that's what I'm going to be needing a mini lathe for, the information here was invaluable my friend, and thank you for your patience making this. Much appreciated!!!!!!
Good video man I sell gear, spline and Hobbing cutters for a living and you nailed it fairly well.
hi i sell propane and propane accessories
Hi i sell dreams and disappointment
Hi I sell people that sell things...somehow I sold myself
Slippory do you have a site?
Send TOT some samples, maybe we will see them in a video!
"This video is already too long..."
UNPOSSIBLE. Thanks for the great videos ToT, truly a gem of the Internet!
Back in the day as a young moped mechanic starting out my journey in anything tool related, I would gladly grab whatever bolt or nut I could find and had no clue about fine or coarse threads. They all got together in the end with enough force and determination. Thankfully, I've almost gotten past that bad habit :)
I want so much that you keep working on improving that mini-lathe! It's so entertaining and interesting to see you "updating" it and making it better ^_^
same, how many improvements does it need to be decent?
@@ToreDL87 It does not matter. If TOT can put up these vids it can show us little people that are short on space and electric service(110 only) how we can make things on a metal lathe. That we can do for a reasonable entry price with half way decent accuracy.
@@dieselfueler Depends, for decent accuracy just put a chuck on a DC motor bolted to a piece of railway track and mill it within .5mm then lick the rest of with sandpaper, (field solutions the old timers used, but have personally done that a lot on rackety mills).
I'm talking about Tesla-style facebook and selfie while driving in corners don't think about it accuracy, what mods are needed for this mill to get good enough accuracy that you can just mill it and be done, for possibly maybe lover-like equal treatment.
@@ToreDL87 Lemniscate...
@@GregorShapiro --> Are you saying "infinity"? :D
Those Flintstone prehistoric gears can be found in every drill, clock, grinder, printer, food mixer, concrete mixer, rotavator, tractor, lawn mower and anything else that has gear that is made in China! They even made of the same material!
They're trailer winch gears...
Absolutely astounding. Never learned so much from one video. Thank you so much. I'm not a machinist, but I'm researching mini lathes to add one to my shop. Also watching your CNC videos as I want to build a small one too.
This old Tony does a video or two on mini lathes, search them out, then don't buy a mini lathe.
Got to pause a lot. Then smile. Then think. Then learn. Again and again.
Great videos. Thank you. Greetings from France.
AvE, T.O.T. and Chef John vids all in less than 24 hours?
I'm convinced more and more that one are many and many, are indeed, one.
they are all the same guy ,just hand make-up
Not forgetting Project Binky.
I don't have the means to get into machining at all, and have no knowledge in that department, so I absolutely appreciate you "insulting my intelligence", and your strategic wit which made understanding gears go down much smoother. I have no concrete idea of how to use my newfound knowledge, but I suppose that's what late night Youtubing is for.
That was absolutely awesome, I've learnt a huge amount about gears and how to go about cutting them and, nearly peed myself laughing, you have a fantastic way of teaching and I'm looking forward to watching more of your video's....
Thanks very much for sharing, take care...
Tony, thank you so very much for the videos you make. Though I am laughing continuously throughout the videos I am also learning so much. You truly are a gift to the TH-cam community.
I got the Mini-Lathe video recommended on my YT home page, and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching this channel. Man has a great sense of humor and is very informative.
"Cosmo Spacely".
We are not worthy.
Caught that going by and about fell out of my chair.
I'm near the end of the video, both baffled by the info, and amazed by it. AWESOME!
Finally a description of the sector arms that doesn't hive me a headache. Most are way over complicated. Very informative.
It's a lot of small things in these videos that add up to their greatness. The sound editing is no small part of this!
This is one of the most hilarious engineering channel on TH-cam!!!
Thank you Tony, the gear theory was really interesting.
In case you didn't know, there are jumping insects that evolved gears, to synchronize both legs outputting the same power for the jump.
So in case you ever need perfect gears for synchronizing leg power for a jump, google gears in insects to see how nature did it.
I literally bust out laughing at your humor in parts of your videos, incredibly educational and with a touch of funny. You sir are a great teacher.
@28:20 Any Video That You Produce & Make!
Is Just Absolutely Epically Awesome! The Answer To Your Question Is Overwhelmingly “YES”
I watch from beginning to end with the occasional fast forward or speed increase. Like watching golf.I like learning and your a good teacher.
Keep an' coming!
Minor point, gears change torque (unless it's a 1:1 ratio) it's power that drops by the efficiency %. Great videos, keep them coming!
Yeah, but here power is equal to speed [rev/sec] multiplied by torque [N*m], so even if the gear train is free (no load at the output end) you need to put in some torque to keep spinning the damn thing.
Of all the Old Tony’s, this one is my favorite.
Is there a That or Other?
Thanks for taking the time to convey the detail. Chuck the folks that don't like longer videos. Love your sense of humor.
100 torks? Quit using so many technical terms! We don't all have PhD's here!
speak for yourself! :D
@@donttouchthisatall my dad told me a long time ago that I had earned my PHD congratulation he said. I had to ask what did PHD stand for. He was eager to say POST HOLE DIGGER get to it boy you have 150 holes to dig for this new cow pasture.
Same BS, just piled higher and deeper.
Some do...😜
I have a Post-hole Digger, but one handle is broken.
11:32 he's got two number 9, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra teeth, a number 7, two number 45's one made of carbide and a large holder to fit them all.
I wasn't expecting that...but it somehow fits
Wow. I'm not a machinist but I learned more from this video than any I've seen in a year.
Fun fact the “eagle” sound is actually a hawk
Eagles chirp.
0:28 Love the rebranding!
Now that you've become the "GREAT! one more stinkin' thing I'll need" channel, my TOT shirt is a priceless collectible, right?! :-)))))
Thank you for your support! I learned more with you than all my 30 years career in Mercedez!
So, after watching this video, I decided that I couldn't live without a set of involute gear cutters. It seems that I bought mine from the same supplier you did, Tony, as: Mine have the same logo stamped to the left of the m1 and I didn't get the No.1 cutter. They have promised to send me the missing cutter. We'll see. Meanwhile, if you're reading this Tony......I hold you personally responsible if I've just bought yet another tool that I may never use! On the upside, they will help make my workshop look like I know what I'm doing.
I was always slightly interested in machining because of my mild steel fabrication background and always thought I was out of my depth trying to learn. I honestly found this inspiring to pursue it in further education and found this very digestible and easy to watch and glad I just found your channel. Look forward to binging your content tonight.
A Jetsons and Flintstones reference in the same video. Awesome.
Going to steal the party trick and pass it off as my own. Thanks!
Be careful. Bring a whistle. Maybe some pepper spray!
I always feel like I'm going on an adventure when I come to your channel. It has taken place of playing skyrim.
If ever a video needed a montage segment with a spinning clock, coffee pots being drained, calendar pages falling away, and "My dearest Emily..." voiceovers, it's the cutting-100-gear-teeth video.
Just jumping in to say that for better or worse, we cut a couple thousand gears with those prehistoric square teeth a week. Now back to the video.
Also, fun fact: that truncated involute profile with the tips cut off was a cost saving measure by the auto industry. If you cut the tip off you save on cleaning up shipping damage. You can also then get finer and fuller contact patterns.
you work at spacely space sprockets?
@@ThisOldTony you'd think so with the way people stress around here.
Alas, we are but a little supplier to the big three.
In automotive, many internal gears have that square tooth on the OD for things like parking gears.
@@geraldgepes I'm guessing that the square tooth engages a pawl to lock the transmission when you put the car in 'P?'
@@nerd1000ify not quite, if my understanding is right, that gear has a planetary set inside of it which is inline with the drive shaft. When park is selected, the whole package is shuttled into a female spline that effectively locks the drive shaft to the bell housing.
Take this with a pinch of salt though, I just keep the machines running, I've never torn down a transmission, just seen a lot of cut aways.
What you're talking about isn't a gear, it's a spline. It doesn't have to make rotating contact with another set of teeth, so the teeth can be any convenient shape.
Geared down to my understanding. I'm racking my brains for a complement. I'm left in a bind.
U sproket
man, your one-liners is what I watch your videos for
This old tony doing what he does best, GOING OFF IN TANGENTS
The Racks were nice.
Great explanation as always! Pretty much the only TH-cam videos, that after I watch I don’t feel like I just wasted my life away. Keep ‘em up!
hahaha the eagle cry at "independent" @6:05
Can you explain please?
@@manuel_youtube_ttt The sound was for America.
6:04 the eagle sound just make me spit a bit of tea on my desk :D
TOTALLY AWESOME! just cleared my all the questions and doubts between rotary hear,, spin indexer and dividing head...... Thank you very much for this great explanation....
Love the video! I cam across the mini-lathe one before and I definitely appreciated it. This one is a hoot. Great sense of humor and you explain things very well. Information is layered up and provided in terms most people are able to understand.
As an aspiring beginner machinist, I have now subscribed.
Cheers!
I have started saying "it is outside the scope of this video" whenever my boss asks me something that I do not know the answer to.
Absolutely fantastic.... usually more interested in the welding content and yet here I was eating this up and loving every bit of it. Thanks for breaking this down, and keeping it entertaining while teaching!
Don't know why but this was recommended to me by the algorithm and I'm thankful it did. Realy like your style. +1sub.
