Radius Dresser Build Part 2
Переглядів 1,2 тис.4 місяці тому
This is the second video in the series on the build of a simple radius dresser for my surface grinder. This video contains a lot of machining with a shaper and a mill, but no bandsawing!
Radius Dresser Build Part 1
Переглядів 3,1 тис.5 місяців тому
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.

I bought a Mitutoyo 117-107 Uni-Mike cheap - it had parts missing. In this video I machine some replacements using best guesses to determine dimensions to make this into a useful measuring tool.
Taylor Hobson Thread Chasing Lathe Part 1
Переглядів 4,1 тис.6 місяців тому
This is an introduction to the lathe that I've been restoring on and off for the last 4 years. It's the only example of this lathe I've been able to find anywhere so what's presented here is the result of a lot of trial, error and detective work. The lathe is very much work in progress but this video gives a glimpse of what it's capable of. It is pre-CNC automation at it's finest!

I’m fascinated with how you generated an involute form cutter. Amazing work, thank you for sharing.
Excellent video, very interesting part. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Very impressive, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, USA
Like the inteligence. Simple made tools not over complicating! Like your vids!
💯💯💯🤸♂🤸♂🤸♂🌟🌟🌟
Just Genius the amazing grinder setup is a lump to be held off the Lantern, perhaps a block mount to replace the clapper would be more rigid ??
Amazing work,Robert.Thank you.
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.
Thanks for your time sir . Its great job to see what I can do with my shaper
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.
Amazing work! You are on another level! Are there any resources you can share from this? I'm trying to take it all in. How did you set up the formulas in your spreadsheet? Thank you and all the best, looking forward to more quality content!
‘Gears and Gear Cutting’ by Ivan Law is a good place to start for the conventional methods use to cut spur gears in the home workshop. I’m not sure he goes into ring gears 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.
@@tonyray91 It is indeed a very helpful book but from memory I think he only deals with practical methods of cutting spur gears but not internal ring gears.
@@tonyray91 CAD modelling would certainly be useful
Awesome work!
this was an awesome video. I always want to know how gears were made. I would love to see how ring and pinion axle gears are made.
Awesome work & demonstration & filming & editing & presentation, explanation of the math & trig to get there. Great skills on every aspect. Now I just need to fill my ears with cotton wool, and take a wee nap, because my brain is bleeding from my ears trying to understand it all and is literally exhausted & needs a rest - & I only woke up 2 hours ago, so that’s how taxing it was trying to understand it all. Kudos to you for even being able to figure all this out, let alone actually do it.
That's just the ticket for a home shop to cut a one-off gear for a machine in need of help. Too often there aren't parts for sale for old machines, at any price. Thank you for the spectacular work proving it can be done!
Well, that sure is an interesting experiment.
It was very nicely done, always inspirational to watch you work on your projects
Bonjour , très intéressante approche du taillage de roue , votre maîtrise es impressionnante,vos vidéo et votre travail sont d’une grande qualité et mettent votre grande expérience et maîtrise de l’usinage à l’ancienne en avant . Merci pour votre partage de connaissances . Cordialement Thierry.
Gday, certainly a ton of work in setup but with all the effort, the fit between the 2 couldn’t be better, great job mate, cheers
Always the same- hours of setup and minutes of cutting.
Bloody amazing.
Nice!
Impressive
Well done!
Another great video and well produced. BC
Thanks for this excellent video. What camera do you use. Regards BC
Nothing fancy I'm afraid. I use my phone, a samsung galaxy a15, cheap as chips but a good camera. Same goes for my editing software, all freeware. I'm not making any money on this so I'm not spending a fortune on it. I'd rather put my money towards more machines! Thanks for your comments and for watching.
@@ThePottingShedWorkshop Your editing program?
This is much easier if you point the spindle to the right and put your finger under the endmill while grinding. Let gravity be your friend instead of fighting it.
Excellent set up work never seen a dividing head set up to rotate to the dividing head by gearing and a driveshaft my hats off to you sir on getting all your math skills down pat and creating such a amazing feat from a retired machinist
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!
Brilliant job, Robert!
@@MyLilMule Thanks very much!
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.
@@tonyray91 Agreed, better dust protection is needed. Ideally I'll need wipers on the ram ways. I've some rubber matting that I'll use as a curtain below the ram. I hate the mess from wheel dressing.The trouble is, all these little improvements are stopping me using it for what I made it for in the first place. Its turning in to a never ending 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.
@@aceroadholder2185 Thats a good idea. I used this guard as a first go at welding aluminium as I have plans to add a port for dust extraction on the guard. I want a similar guard for my Union tool and cutter grinder to minimise dust so I can grind carbide more safely.
Very nice work, looking forward to see it being put to work. Thanks for sharing Robert
@@Griffon37 Thanks! I'm working on all the other bits I'll need. I didnt video all these, rigging up dust protection and making a chuck backplate are not that exciting!
Good job on that it will be a handy tool in the future
@@stovepipe666 Thats the plan! Thanks for watching.
you are a genius.
@@ChrisBel-y3o Thank you, but I wouldn't agree totally. This project wasn't completesd without its fair share of cock-ups!
Very nice work! Some innovative work holding too.
@@MicksWorkshop Thank you. Hopefully someone will get a bit of inspiration from what I show.
Love your shaper. You do spectacular work. Great job.
@@garysgarage101 Thank you. The shaper is one of those machines that gets used now and then, but it's too useful to part with it!
That sure was a fun build. And it works.
@@Rustinox I enjoyed building it! Yes, it works, just about. It wouldnt cope with a heavy cut mind.
Great video,great machines,Robert.Thank you.
@@angelramos-2005 Thanks. I'm almost ready to do the follow up and actually use the grinder for what it was intended!
Lovely work, and a very useful thing to have! Thanks for sharing, Robert!
@@thomasstover6272 Thanks Tom. Its a long way from being perfect. The motor is underpowered and there are other design aspects that could have been done better, but you dont know till youve tried.
Cracking video just subscribed
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Was that Mr. Crispin's brothers toothbrush that you were using on those left-hand threads?
@@billdoodson4232 🤣 I don't have compressed air, so I use brushes to remove chips.
Another great project and video production too. Making your own wavy washers - yeah!
@@ianpendlebury9503 Thank you! I looked at buying wavy washers but they were stupidly expensive for what they are!
Ottimo lavoro e ben realizzato! Adesso manca solo una protezione contro la polvere giusto sotto al ram , altrimenti la povere della mola và a depositarsi sugli ingranaggi e nell' olio 😢
Thank you. You're right, it does need better dust control. I'd like to fit my extractor unit to it, like the surface grinder has. Some protection on the aperture under the ram would be good too.
What a beautiful idea. thanks for sharing.
@@sky173 Thanks!
Terrific machining job with a really good result, thank you so much. Love the steam train 👍👍
@@paulhewitt1488 Thank you. Yes, that loco was in fantastic condition. The Swanage Railway is nice but its a shame it doesnt go all the way to Wareham.
Gosh ! That was a lot of work, hopefully it will prove to be a very useful resource for your workshop. First results certainly look very promising. Marvellous job, i do admire how you designed it as you built it.
@@colindrakes4607 Yes, it was a lot of work and I videoed most of it, so the editing was a mammoth task too! I could have drawn everything up in 3D first, but there's always something you'd miss. Like not being able to bore an accurate bearing fit 100mm down a tube!
Of course, the results are only as flat as the ways of the ram. I'd like to see how a resulting surface blues up on a surface plate.
Same with the result from any machine tool. It wasnt intended to be a surface grinder replacement. I'll show its intended use in the next video, when I get round to recording it!
This is a great creator don't understand why he hasn't got more subscribers
@@dazinull Thanks! My presentation style might not be exciting enough for some?
Excellent Robert!.... Another top quality video as well. Looking forward to watching you use it in "anger"😃👍🏻
@@GenauMann Thanks! I'm fixing my mill at the mo. Swarf jamming up the Y axis leadscrew - its unshielded by design.
That's something new, nicely done.
@@K_Shea Thank you. Hopefully it'll work for what I want to do with it
