Hey Chris! I'm currently working on a PhD focusing on gear theory. It is always wonderful to see what many machinists are doing with the technology and the approximations being made. I'll be sure to share this video with my supervising professor. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Chris - although making cutters is never something im going to experience, i really enjoyed this video. You attention to detail is captivating. Appreciated.
So much useful information in a span of only 15 minutes. The videography is on par as always. Thank you Chris, you're a true polymath! *Edit* Presentation
Excellent video Chris. I spent over 30 years working for a gear cutting machine manufacturer. They made machines to cut hypoid gears for the rear end of the automotive industry. Also Kozo Hiraoka, a Japanese live steam modeler showed how to make gears using the same method you are going to show. I'll be watching with anticipation for the next video.
Hi Chris When I made one of those gear button arrangements, I was defeated by the "rolled" edges of the buttons! Thanks to your ingenuity I can get around that hurdle. Thankyou for sharing 😊
i think that the guy whose patron is a WATCH COMPANY is really trustworthy in terms of gear cutting this is something i personally think is worth mentioning and JEEZ it is an award in itself
I'm constantly amazed at not only the quality of your work but the planning that you do, beforehand to maximize functionality. The rest of the world would be stuck doing several iterations to arrive at a solution that combines multiple features into a single tool.
Going to come clean...I always just thumbs up these incredible videos before I even watch them. I just know I'm not going to be disappointed. Thank you for the great work you have given us.
Making tools is my favorite thing. I am a machinist with genuine interest in everything on this channel. I only say that to preface saying that I sometimes put this channel on to just zone out to and sometimes nap. Very much like watching Bob Ross when I was younger. It's so chill here.
Awesome video. I just cut my first 2-inch, 30 tooth gear. What a satisfying experience, especially since I was within 3 tho of spec. Next, I'm going to attempt to make a basic clock mechanism, but I'm not expecting much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and giving a ton of inspiration. Can't wait for the next video. Cheers!
Thanks Chris, Just brought Ivan Laws Book last week, and have started reading and feeding everything into Solidworks 2020. Your timing as always is divine, This will be a set of videos that I will follow intensely thank you for your time showing Meer mortal workshop hacks how to achieve professional tooling. Regards Beagles.
I remember looking through the Machinery Handbook at the gear section and there is a lot to take in. That was probably 40 years ago. Getting the tooth profiles correct to transmit power at higher speed is obviously important but for clocks it sems to be different. I have made a two metal clocks and a few wooden ones and I have always used lantern pinions and somehow got away with it.
Fantastic idea for a mini series of TGT, I am just gathering all my old trade training books and I firgot how good they were. As I follow your take on gears it will no doubt be even more interesting.
Excellent video, as usual from you! Thanks for making the drawing for this tool available. I plan on making one this size, and a larger one for 1" cutters. Looking forward to the rest of this series 🙂
Hey cris! What an awesome video! Making gear cutters always seemed impossible to me to do In the home shop but you prove me wrong again, can’t wait for what’s coming! Ps, could you ever do a video of making a video of you making a part or a piece with just only music and show every bit of machining of it? You always put so much effort in your machining I think a lot of people would like this! This old tony did a video like this a while back with a vice handle or something and it made for a very enjoyable video. Thank you again for the awesome video!
Thanks for the informative video, I was looking forward to this one. Do you know if a shop made involute cutter can be used with the same method for an internally-toothed ring gear? The gear cutting will need to be done on a shaper of course, but as far as making the cutter goes, I can't seem to find anywhere that discusses the button method if it can also be made to cut ring gear cutters.
Just what I need: Gear cutters! Then, I will need the lathe, tool holders, various metals, cutting oil, and so much more! You see, I already have the projects: sewing machine stuff! I have a machine just old enough to not be 100% plastic. However, they did make the weakest gears from a nylon or plastic. It is the intersection of a vetical axle and a horizontal axle. Both gears are beveled. The cuff of the gears of a steel, but the beveled gearing is fitted over the cuff and is made from PLASTIC OR A CHEAP NYLON!! Even back in the mid-1980's, sewing machines were designed to break. Now, 30 years later, the replacement parts are not even cut with an involuted edge on the gears! Crunch, crunch, cruch go the parts when they are placed into the machine. It irritates me so much that things are designed to break. Then, when I take it in for repair, the problems are made worse because a squeeze pun to hold another gear on the shaft was partially drilled out! I managed to break that cast iron gear while attempting to get it out. I hope CA glue is strong enough to hold that balancing wheel together while sewing, at least until i can make another balance wheel... actually, it is called a Thread Take Up Gear. Oy!
There is a dimension missing from the drawing of the alloy block. Well, there may be more, but the placement of one hole is only detailed in its position relative to the edge, but not from the end. Dimension of 4.65 is given from the edge of the block, but no dimension from the end, unless I am not seeing it! Posted on Easter Sunday 2024.
I really like this style of gear cutter. Would it be possible to make them with more teeth than just four or is there a reason for that? Also, this cutter can only make an approximated involute tooth shape with using those circular cutting inserts to make it. Is there a way to get an actual involute profile? Only ways that come to my mind are using either a pantograph or a precise CNC milling machine with a grinding bit to make a speciallized form tool. But I also thought about making those round cutting inserts at an angle to get an elliptic shape, which might more closely resemble an involute. That will involve a lot of maths or CAD magic though.
You do a great job and I enjoy your videos. I have been considering becoming a patreon but the prices are not visible as they are covered by the 'join now' button.
I remember This Old Tony's episode on involuted gears being... complicated. This series will most certainly be interesting.
Always a good day when Clickspring uploads
One of my favorite youtubers/ people. The clock build was amazing, I rewatched the whole thing about 3 times
Always got time in my life for 12 minutes of Clickspring video even it's unlikely I'll ever attempt to cut small gears. Great video, thanks!
That rod is so fitted that side fumbling is effectively prevented! :)
Awesome work, Chris!
Is the encabulator the next project? With or without the turbo?
Does this guy put together the best voice over video you’ve seen or what? Must have a side hustle as a English Professor
I like that these videos are essentially both a tutorial and a work of art accessible to anyone with a passing interest.
Next level genius!
Hey Chris! I'm currently working on a PhD focusing on gear theory. It is always wonderful to see what many machinists are doing with the technology and the approximations being made. I'll be sure to share this video with my supervising professor. Thanks for the great video!
Making those single-cut knurled brass knobs is just Chris showing off. And I love it.
As always your presentation is flawless. Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching Rick :)
Thanks Chris - although making cutters is never something im going to experience, i really enjoyed this video. You attention to detail is captivating. Appreciated.
What a really fantastic tool and video. Great work Chris!
Thanks Bill!
So much useful information in a span of only 15 minutes.
The videography is on par as always.
Thank you Chris, you're a true polymath!

Presentation
Everyone needs that.
Things are gearing up!
Your cinematography and editing are as as beautiful as your machining! Great work as always!
I have to admit that I just smile while I watch your videos. They are that much fun.
Another freaking masterpiece. Few other videos get me so excited when I see them pop up in my TH-cam list.
My Roloff Matek "Machine Parts" book is my mechanical engineering bible. The chapter on gears is one of my favourites.
Very interesting... can't wait for part two
Excellent video Chris. I spent over 30 years working for a gear cutting machine manufacturer. They made machines to cut hypoid gears for the rear end of the automotive industry.

Hi Chris
When I made one of those gear button arrangements, I was defeated by the "rolled" edges of the buttons! Thanks to your ingenuity I can get around that hurdle. Thankyou for sharing 😊
So pleased to hear that mate :)
Such a beautiful video illustrated in precise and clear way, good job. Im your fan from Philippines working on merchant ships as machinist ....
Great Video, and now I am starting to understand what those buttons are to be used for... Thanks, and looking forward to the rest of the series
i think that the guy whose patron is a WATCH COMPANY is really trustworthy in terms of gear cutting
this is something i personally think is worth mentioning and JEEZ it is an award in itself
OMG, that toolrest with the HSS to profile the brass knobs was a brilliant solution to get the ‘dome’ shape you wanted, truly awesome.
I'm constantly amazed at not only the quality of your work but the planning that you do, beforehand to maximize functionality. The rest of the world would be stuck doing several iterations to arrive at a solution that combines multiple features into a single tool.
Rabbit holes and Clickspring...two peas in a pod!!! But don't we love it!!! 🙂
Going to come clean...I always just thumbs up these incredible videos before I even watch them. I just know I'm not going to be disappointed. Thank you for the great work you have given us.
I do the same
This is just awesome
I understood almost nothing of what you said, but it was fascinating none the less.
Making tools is my favorite thing. I am a machinist with genuine interest in everything on this channel. I only say that to preface saying that I sometimes put this channel on to just zone out to and sometimes nap. Very much like watching Bob Ross when I was younger. It's so chill here.
That is a great design.
Hi Chris. Another well presented video

Man, your tools always come out looking absolutely gorgeous.

Great to have you watching mate :)
…..an upload from Clickspring and Administrative Results in the same day? Happy Father’s Day to me.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 hat's off master Chris, as usual.
You sir have skills beyond most on this planet, thanks for sharing them with us, cheers.

Great video
Love it
Love these videos so much attention to detail. really helps my ocd
Cool project!
Simple but brilliant thanks
Uri Tuchman: Posts a home-made gear hob after a ton of issues.
Clickspring: "Hold my machine oil, mate."
Fantastic idea for a mini series of TGT, I am just gathering all my old trade training books and I firgot how good they were. As I follow your take on gears it will no doubt be even more interesting.
Great idea it makes sharpening much more consistent a double check of the position before you start should be the all you need 👍👍👍
Fantastic work as always Chris!!! I’ve been in the process of making the tooling for the cutters, thanks again for the tips and help along the way
Love your work Chris always a joy to watch.
So this is a tool to make the tool that makes the gear. Nice.
Wonderful. Looking forward to the next one.
… AND a calculator? Oh bless you sir (wipes eyes and then honks nose into handkerchief).
Its quite a pleasure learning new ways to approach tool design and manufacturing for these videos.
inspiring stuff. ❤
Waiting for the next episode! Another really good reference for all things to do with gears is the andysmachines channel on youtube.
Nice!
great work i love tool making vids would love to see a quick 5min on the books you use
it's truly a joy to watch you work. ❤
Great video. good job
This is going to be a fantastic series. A bit of a dark art for me!
Excellent video, as usual from you! Thanks for making the drawing for this tool available. I plan on making one this size, and a larger one for 1" cutters. Looking forward to the rest of this series 🙂
You make it look so easy.
Neo level!
Высшее инженерное искусство. Очень жаль, что видео так коротки, захватывает на 100 %
Спасибо.
Awesome Chris.
Nice job, thanks for sharing!
поражает уровень знаний и мастерства. высочайший уровень и теоретических и практических знаний

11:50 Ick! Than hurt me right through my spine 😁 cheers!
Awesome, just what i was looking for a solution to. Many thanks
Hi Mr new to ya channel just subbed in. looking forward to a quick look around your workshop 👍 🇦🇺
Всегда жду ваши видео. Металлообработка высшего качества!
Girl, wake up! It's 4am - new clickspring dropped

How do you not have millions of subscribers?
Amen!
Прекрасная работа.
ToT GEARS!! Video, learned me how to gears. =)
Can you do a guide to ornamental hand turning on metal lathes please.
Just what I need:

Hi Chris .. Thanks for the video .. where can I buy the concave knurling roller? Or how to make it :)
I have found the tutorial for that .. thanks!
Is everyone just gone look over him digging into his own nail at 11:49
It's just like testing knife sharpness by shaving your forearm.
I see Clickspring, I click.
Would you consider the Gingery books to be a good investment?
Do you ever use auto-reversing tap drivers?
Hi Chris, is it 360 brass you use in your projects?
where do you get your paper washers?
Commented on Uris video. Then you make one. You guys are trying to confuse me.
What, no guilloche on the aluminum plate? :D
