Cutting an Internal Ring Gear on the Shaper
In this video I go through all of the steps to cut a 40 tooth, 16DP, 20 degree PA annular gear. The steps include grinding an involute cutter, preparing the gear blank and cutting the gear teeth on the shaper.

I need a radius dresser for an upcoming project. Rather than buy one, in this video I start the process of machining a simple one from scratch. I could have simply used the horizontal or vertical mill, but having started to machine the flame-cut plate on the shaper, I decided to try and do as much of the project as possible with it.

    Well that was a lovely job Robert. The way that spur gear slid into the ring gear was confirmation of the time spent on the calculations and setup. For me you could do a full series on how to do the calculations for various types of gears. Toms Rabbit Hole does some wonderful gear setup and cutting as well with his homebuilt hobbing machine, but this seems to be a more achievable way for us mere mortals.

    I like the full video format since I don't like cliffhangers. Is there a limit to how small an internal gear can be made using this technique, since I assume the tool would narrow towards the "root" (which would be the crest on the ring gear's teeth)? The wide area in the middle would cut away material that should be there on the theoretically correct shaped internal tooth crest, I assume. I don't know if that would ultimately matter, though.

      A tour de force Robert. It is a long video but viewers can just stop at a convenient point. Not taking anything away from the painstaking approach you took but I wonder how close one could get by generating the cutter profile in CAD then grinding the tool by eye, certainly some good magnification would be required.

    Robert, if you decide that your "wavy spring" isn't providing the proper preload for the bearings, try to get a Belleville spring/washer that is designed to give the preload needed. Your shop-made wavy washer may plastically deform without being made from "spring" material with heat treatment & tempering. Regardless, this is a very interesting video series! Thumbs up!

    Nice work Robert. Finish looks really good, no sign of wheel hop. Appreciate the grinding dust is moving away from the shaper but you might want to consider protecting the ways, I find a piece of leather held in place by magnets works well on my T&C grinder. The dust from dressing seems to float more than any metal grinding. Any dust extraction you can devise will also help. Looking forward to seeing the spindle in action on a project.

    Nicely done. A clever way to make safety guards for grinding wheels or saw blades is to go to the secondhand store and buy a suitable pot or pan and cut it apart. If really ambitious, you can make a fully enclosed guard with a small hinge to open the guard for access to the wheel or saw.
