Winner winner, chicken dinner, nice work, and what a generous viewer gift. 👍I copped a strange comment on one of my videos a few weeks back about being an Aussie, working in metric, but sometimes quoting things in Imperial, but I suspect you are like me, a child of the era when we switched from Imperial to Metric, for me that was the year I started at TAFE for my apprenticeship.
Gday, a few time now ive been asked what part of the USA im from, The new dial gauge is very nice and going to be very nice to use, Appreciate you watching , cheers
lol, used to be in a timber yard, always get an old guy looking confused... "i need ...1800? of ... 90 35?" 6 ft of 4b1half? "you still work in inches?!?!?" meh... virtually every tyre ive seen uses mixed units... only ever seen one car with a metric rim. more fun to mess with peoples heads and use obsolete units... " a gill of oil... a cubit of timber... degrees roemer..." "two knuckles and just to the edge of me nail..."
Somehow cutting your own gears is the "I've arrived" moment in machining. I looked at my Sharp lathe and it does do 1.75 threads. Of course when I got it all of the change gears except what was installed were missing so I had to make a set of 8 gears from 30 to 69 tooth, and make two special high count plates for my dividing head as well. It was a very educational project and immensely satisfying to complete.
Gday, I was really excited when I cut my first gear, I find it quite enjoyable really especially when I don’t screw it up, that would of been a big education making the high count plates, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Nice info and shop tools from John, Max, & anonymous, lovely Dial Indicator. Brilliant job on cutting gears, not for the faint hearted 👌😉. Rotary wire brush does already job of deburring gears, and slots in screw threads, nice and easy, just beware of flying wires. Have a good un Matty, thanks for sharing 👍.
Gday John, With the help from John and Max was priceless, Im not very good with mathematics and I had no idea how to work out any of the ratios, The Mitutoyo Indicator is absolutely beautiful, I have spoke to the guy on the phone and thanked him for his generosity, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
...another great video, thanks Matty. Very impressive, love that you reached out, got tech assistance, plowed thru...SUCCESS. CONGRATULATIONS on impressive gift, good thing come to good people. Stay STRONG and always the best for you and your better half 😎😎😎💪💪💪
Gday Joel, it’s great to be able to ask questions and then be able to get the job done, I just wish I’d payed more attention in mathematics at school, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
I can honestly say, Matty you are the type of bloke that people would love to share or rather buy a beer for and have a chat. A beautiful way of presenting in your own unique style. This honesty and dinkum way of sharing knowledge and educating is a very unique gift. To coin a phrase. There’s no bullshit
Hi Matt. Great information for us owners of the Al lathe. Haven't needed to cut 1.75 yet but will sore this in the running book for when required. Dropping things in the workshop is a right of passage for those evil shop devils. They always come out when we are not looking. Have a good week
Gday, It took me about an 2hrs to sort out all the nuts and bolts again into another box, the washers were the worst, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm 8mm, what a crap job that was mate, appreciate you watching, Cheers
Great work as usual mate it's always a highlight of my week to watch you in the workshop, you are an inspiration for everyone who watches. Also I love the fact that you are down to earth and don't sugar coat anything
G'day Matty! That mate is a win win, you've made a bloody good job of that! I can't understand why Hafco wouldn't supply a 35 tooth gear with the lathe. After all it's not as if M12 coarse is an oddball size of thread. A big oversight on their part to my mind. I think if I were you I would email the importers of the lathe and ask them the sixty four million dollar question as to why you can't cut an M12 x 1.75 thread on a metric lathe and why you had to get someone to work out what gear tooth you needed to cut a standard metric thread. I know I would be asking them that question lol Anyway you've done it now and made one not only for yourself, but one for Trev and Max as well. Good on ya sir! Cheers from the UK, Sam
Gday Sam, I can't work out why the lathe didn't come with this gear either, I should ask them next time i call Hare and Forbes, I should have cut a dozen of these gears and sold a few, Thanks for watching, Cheers
In a similar way my Harrison L6 lathe back gear chart only lists the use of a 28 tooth gear on the top shaft for 1.75mm pitch and double multiples like 3.5mm and 7 mm. All the other metric pitches are achieved with a 30 tooth gear on the top shaft then 127-120 on the intermediate shaft and 48 tooth on the bottom shaft. All other adjustments are achieved via the screwcutting gearbox ratios.
HF/hafco doesnt give a flying fig about anything but selling machines, and even then theyre pretty substandard in customer service... they definitely arent going to listen to any feedback about what various machines should or shouldnt have to make them useful.
Good for you mate! You did the bit that most people don't do! You made your gears that's where most people go out and buy one!! Pity you don't have your shaper anymore, they're the "Universal internal key cutter"! All the best, Matthew
Gday, I'd rather make something then buy it, The shaper would of been handy and its only 10 minutes away from home in Trevors workshop, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Hi Matty, I also have a 960 and needed to cut a 1.75 thread some time ago, and off course - I gave up. Now that I have watched your video and noted the B6 setting - I'm going to try and cut my first gear. All the best and thanks for your videos.
Gday Richard, Cutting gears isn't that hard, once you get the cutter on centre, dividing plate and sector arms set and depth of cut dialled in its just a matter of keeping the sequence running, step by step mate, if I can do it anyone can, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Done well Matt. The information you gave out is priceless. To now know there is a fix for my AL360B is good. Might have to have a go myself. It is so nice to see put this info out. Again done well Matt. Regards Baden.
Hi Matty, not sure if someone else has suggested, but the grizzly G4003 appears to be the same lathe ( with the 35 tooth gear 😢), and their downloadable manual is excellent. Cheers steve
The gears turned out really well Matty. You made a nice job of them. Also an interesting video. A nice gift well deserved. Take care mate. Cheers Nobby
Excellent, another Matty video. Coffee at the ready. Update: on my second coffee and a Marmite (Vegemite to you Matty) toastie. I'm hoping you are keeping as well as you are looking mate.
just amazing what one can achieve with a little help form some friends . dam nice job there Matty , me i am laze . use Taps and Dies do cut the odd thread but , if i have a die or tap then that what i use . saves me some time Question , for you i see you thread left to right the normal way and get out as quick as i learned from Blonde Hacks and Joe Pie how to thread in reverse just marvelous no more worrying about crashing bits Cheers Mate you say hopefully we enjoyed the video that goes with out saying dam right we did as for your nuts , and bolts bin there done that think we all have
Gday, To cut a thread with the tool upside down and away from the chuck won't work for me, I don't use a QCTP so I can't get the tool high enough in the 4 way tool post, The nuts and bolts took about 2hrs to sort out, to an enjoyable job mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Gday Graedon, All the gear cutters I've brought have been cheap ones from eBay or Amazon, I don't push them hard and always use flood coolant and I haven't destroyed one yet, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Well done Matty. I will save this vid for future reference should i need to cut that pitch on my AL960b. Thank you and your mates for nutting out all the specs.
first task of any "gearbox head" machine is figure out ALL the possible ratios... theres plenty that arent listed on that plate. i tend to do oddball pitches... gas fittings and worm gears require a fair few custom gears. try finding any lathe that will do 34TPI... each to their own but i dont bother with involute cutters. can generate a spur gear with far more accuracy using a slot saw. any module/dp, any tooth count... even more satisfying to watch a gear "generate"...
Nice job,Matty👌 I do enjoy cutting gears on the mill and those online gear calculators are a tremendous help,I have one downloaded on my apps on my phone. What you have to watch out for with push broaching on a hydraulic press is to back off the pressure every 2 or 3 teeth and release any side loading that accumulates between the ram and the nose of the broach or there is a real risk of shattering the broach. I think I did see you backing off a couple of times during the broaching process.
Gday, the online calculators are fantastic, I did back the pressure off the broach quite a few times, I was really concerned about busting the broach that’s for sure, thanks for watching, cheers
I use the same on line gear calculator. It doesn't get easier than that :) There are olso very nice dividing head calculators on line. No more thinking needed.
Gday Rustinox, The online calculators are really simple to use and there calculators for everything now, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Fantastic result. I have often wondered how to set the quick change gears when changing the gears on the back. My old Atlas lathe doesn’t have a quick change box so it’s all done on the slow change gears. I chewed out a gear a while back and I made a new one out of brass. (Existing gears are some kind of alloy named Zermac) I did the same procedure as you except I cut the key way with a home ground single point tool. Locked the lathe spindle and wound the carriage in and out like a horizontal slotting machine. Took a while but it worked great. Made a spare gear of course 🤠 My channel is currently at ~950 subs at the moment. Im in a bit of a creative low. I have one in the can and editing as we speak. Hard work back forward back forward 🤠 Hats of to you, your videos come out great and are easy to watch all the way to the end.
Gday Davo, I'll slipcover and check your channel out and subscribe, its not easy coming up with a video each week and its take commitment, Theres a lot of work involved making videos, editing takes a lot of time to do, 30min video can take me 8 to 10 hrs to edit, it can be done quicker but the video suffers, Appreciate you watching and commenting mate, Cheers
Great one Matty, one thing I’ve never done is gear cutting and I could do with a gear for my Colchester student, hope you keeping well pal, Terry from the old country 🤗👍
hey Matty, hope all is well. thanks so much for this video. had to make a couple of 21 tooth change wheels for a mates Myford lathe and hadnt used a dividing head for cutting gears before and found your explanation very helpful. I still fucked up the first one but got there in the end. great feeling when that cutter doesnt take chips off the first groove and you know that its worked,
Gday, I never thought id ver be cutting gears, It really not tat hard to do once you get into the rhythm, you'll handle it no worries at all, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Great job mate absolutely awesome. You are turning out some great quality projects really enjoy your channel. I Never miss a thing. Hope you’re feeling OK mate and you’re doing well.👍
Beautiful work Matty, and I bet you had better QC than the stock gears that came with the lathe! Hope you're doing ok, it's been a few weeks since you posted this.
Gday, sorry for the late reply’s, the gears that came with the lathe look pretty good, not like the Chinese lathe I had before, the last chemo (No5) was horrible, I’ve never been as crook as this before, certainly not looking to the next one, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Thanks Matt for another well presented instructional video, maybe you could market these 35 T gears for the hafco lathe! Might be an earner for you.....again, well done, Mick
G’day Matty, very nice work on the gears mate. I’ve always wanted to try cutting gears but never got round to it. May be one day 😊 hope all going well with your treatment mate.
I converted a 20t press into a broaching press by replacing the jack with an 8t engine crane air over hydraulic ram. Much faster with the air and gets the job done in one stroke. 👍
i also dropped a sorted box of nuts and bolts and took the better part of an hour to sort them back out... that was over 10 years ago since that day i swore never to use that kind of box again... Now i have a proper pull out cabinet that i cant drop lol
Gday Paul, It took me about 2hrs to sort the nuts and bolts out again, 3mm 4mm 5mm 6mm 8mm 10mm, sorting the Ashers out was the worst, Id love to have a proper pull out cabinet one day, its on my wish list but it'll be a while, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nicely done Matty. Glad everything went as smoothly as it did. I spent my working life with gears and gearboxes, and I loved it. You're looking good mate, what's the latest medical news ? Regards to you and family 👍
Gday, Im going for the 4th chemo treatment next week, The last one really knocked me around and im expecting the next one will to, ive found it quite enjoyable cutting gear when I dont make a mistake, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop I used to take my assistant for his Chemo, his wife took him the first time, but he was really bad with it. His wife asked me to take him, which I did. He had 6 chemo sessions, and he just came out feeling bad. I hope everything goes OK Matty. ❤️ Take care.
well done Matty, I had the same problem on my chester lathe, NO 1.75mm pitch !, I used Evan Lewis`s Ride The Gear Train algorithm to work things out for that and lots of other pitches, was very useful and if you input the right data it works out which gear setting for you. Good to see you doing stuff. keep it up.👍
Nice job Matty, I'm surprised your machine doesn't do 1.75. I have a very similar lathe to you, mine is a Capital C06230A/914. For all metric threads it lists both top and bottom small gears run engaged with the 120T main/banjo gear. It only uses the 127T-120T combo for cutting imperial thread pitches. My settings for 1.75 are: Top gear - 56 tooth. Bottom gear - 60 tooth. Gearbox/Leadscrew Levers - 4-R-A-C. Too late now, but I wonder if the same set up would've been correct on your machine too🤔😁👍
Gday, The difference id say is my lathe has an imperial lead screw which I need to use the 127/120 gears to cut metric threads, Thanks for watching, Cheers
You can get them from the UK but would have to put them on a diet as they are 15mm wide and do the bore for those that don''t want to cut the teeth. and I think it is a very common problem my lathe came from Taiwan and much older and same gear missing.
Winner winner, chicken dinner, nice work, and what a generous viewer gift. 👍I copped a strange comment on one of my videos a few weeks back about being an Aussie, working in metric, but sometimes quoting things in Imperial, but I suspect you are like me, a child of the era when we switched from Imperial to Metric, for me that was the year I started at TAFE for my apprenticeship.

6 ft of 4b1half?
"you still work in inches?!?!?"
meh... virtually every tyre ive seen uses mixed units... only ever seen one car with a metric rim.
more fun to mess with peoples heads and use obsolete units... " a gill of oil... a cubit of timber... degrees roemer..."
"two knuckles and just to the edge of me nail..."
Good job. No more banana measuring. A big help having a mate do the math work. Thanks for sharing.
Gday, I’m finally switching over to metric, we’ll see how I go there mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Another great one Matty! 👍💪✌

Nice work, Matty 😊. Those gears are so quiet, no saw dust or nuthin 🤣.
Well done!
Cheers! 👍😁👍
The old saw dust trick. That is old school there. 😀
Gday Chris, I was surprised how quite the gears ran as well, I musta done something right mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Enjoyed , Matty nice to see you having a win and seeing the very nice work you are putting out 🙏🏻. For next week
Gday, thanks very much mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Hey Matty! cutting gears is a massive achievement for the hobbyist, turned out fantastic!
Gday, Its really enjoyable cutting gears especially when I didn't screw these ones up, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nice info and shop tools from John, Max, & anonymous, lovely Dial Indicator.
Brilliant job on cutting gears, not for the faint hearted 👌😉.

Good one . Watched on TV & forgot to comment ! What is funny is my old 1930's DSG will do a 1.75 mm pitch ! 👍
Gday Max, it’s amazing how many lathes don’t cut the 1.75p thread, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Great video thanks Matty, I have the same lathe so really appreciate you sharing the details! Hard and Forbes should be sponsoring you❤
"hard ass frauds"? shame theres virtually no competition in their niche market or they might be forced to improve their customer service a bit...

Gday, unfortunately many viewers don’t like a bit of language so I try not swear but the odd one gets through, thanks for watching, cheers
Great one Matty, one thing I’ve never done is gear cutting and I could do with a gear for my Colchester student, hope you keeping well pal, Terry from the old country 🤗👍
Gday Terry, Gear cutting isn't all that hard to do, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Good engineering content to watch Matty. You've done a fantastic job. Superb gift and great Aussie buddies. Cheers Tony
Gday Tony, appreciate you watching and commenting mate, cheers
hey Matty, hope all is well. thanks so much for this video. had to make a couple of 21 tooth change wheels for a mates Myford lathe and hadnt used a dividing head for cutting gears before and found your explanation very helpful. I still fucked up the first one but got there in the end. great feeling when that cutter doesnt take chips off the first groove and you know that its worked,
Gday, I glad the video helped, I enjoy making gears when it all goes to plan, thanks for watching
That is super cool. . You could cut any toothed gear and make it do other thread cuts . . Amazing.
Thanks very much mate, cheers
Beautiful Job Matty!
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
Great to see you looking good Lewis
Thanks mate
Good job Matty, excellent finish on those gear blanks and the lathe runs so quiet.
Gday, The gear train has always ran pretty smooth and I was surprised how good the new gear sounded, thanks for watching, Cheers
you are looking great, hoping you feel the same
Gday, I’m feeling good now finally after the last treatment, back in next week for another one, cheers
Hi Matty nice job on the gears mate I'll get there myself one day, nice looking dial indicator too.
Gday, I never thought id ver be cutting gears, It really not tat hard to do once you get into the rhythm, you'll handle it no worries at all, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Great job mate absolutely awesome. You are turning out some great quality projects really enjoy your channel. I Never miss a thing. Hope you’re feeling OK mate and you’re doing well.👍
Gday, appreciate your kind words, im feeling ok atm thanks mate, cheers
Beautiful work Matty, and I bet you had better QC than the stock gears that came with the lathe! Hope you're doing ok, it's been a few weeks since you posted this.
Gday, sorry for the late reply’s, the gears that came with the lathe look pretty good, not like the Chinese lathe I had before, the last chemo (No5) was horrible, I’ve never been as crook as this before, certainly not looking to the next one, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Thanks, Matty, another great lesson.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Thanks Matt for another well presented instructional video, maybe you could market these 35 T gears for the hafco lathe! Might be an earner for you.....again, well done, Mick
Gday Mick, I might make some more later on if anyone is interested, thanks for watching, cheers
Thankyou Matty, I could with one of those on my AL 960 B. Have a safe one....😊
Gday, if you’re not able to cut gears let me know mate, cheers
Nice bit of work on the gear. It's a hobby I need to get into.
Gday, it’s a great hobby mate, you’ll enjoy it for sure, thanks for watching, cheers
G’day Matty, very nice work on the gears mate. I’ve always wanted to try cutting gears but never got round to it. May be one day 😊 hope all going well with your treatment mate.
Gday, definitely have a go at cutting your own gears, it’s really not that hard mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Your gears run very quietly! Great job.
Gday, I was surprised how quietly the gear ran myself, thanks for watching, cheers
Gear cuttings great fun ( when you don't eff up lol) your looking good mate long may it continue
Gday, I really enjoy cutting gears, if had my fair share of screw ups mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
I converted a 20t press into a broaching press by replacing the jack with an 8t engine crane air over hydraulic ram. Much faster with the air and gets the job done in one stroke. 👍
I really need to do something with my press, its painfully slow, possibly a cylinder build in the future maybe 🤔, cheers
i also dropped a sorted box of nuts and bolts and took the better part of an hour to sort them back out... that was over 10 years ago since that day i swore never to use that kind of box again... Now i have a proper pull out cabinet that i cant drop lol
Gday Paul, It took me about 2hrs to sort the nuts and bolts out again, 3mm 4mm 5mm 6mm 8mm 10mm, sorting the Ashers out was the worst, Id love to have a proper pull out cabinet one day, its on my wish list but it'll be a while, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Matty, was that your Kenworth truck in the day? Looks like snow there, didn't know it snowed in down under.
This was one drove for a few years, that photo was taken at a place called Nimmitabel in NSW, its not far from the Snowy maintains...
Nicely done Matty. Glad everything went as smoothly as it did. I spent my working life with gears and gearboxes, and I loved it. You're looking good mate, what's the latest medical news ? Regards to you and family 👍
Gday, Im going for the 4th chemo treatment next week, The last one really knocked me around and im expecting the next one will to, ive found it quite enjoyable cutting gear when I dont make a mistake, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop I used to take my assistant for his Chemo, his wife took him the first time, but he was really bad with it. His wife asked me to take him, which I did. He had 6 chemo sessions, and he just came out feeling bad. I hope everything goes OK Matty. ❤️ Take care.
Nice work......Thanks for sharing
Thanks very much, cheers
Good video and a great job cutting the gear teeth!
Thanks very much mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
I have no need to cut gears but I really want to try. Nice work Matty,
Definitely have a go at it mate, it’s quite enjoyable, thanks for watching, cheers
well done Matty, I had the same problem on my chester lathe, NO 1.75mm pitch !, I used Evan Lewis`s Ride The Gear Train algorithm to work things out for that and lots of other pitches, was very useful and if you input the right data it works out which gear setting for you. Good to see you doing stuff. keep it up.👍
Gday, I have the Ivan Laws book on gear cutting, there’s a lot of great information there, thanks for watching, cheers
Nice job Matty,
I'm surprised your machine doesn't do 1.75.
I have a very similar lathe to you, mine is a Capital C06230A/914.
For all metric threads it lists both top and bottom small gears run engaged with the 120T
main/banjo gear.
It only uses the 127T-120T combo for cutting imperial thread pitches.
My settings for 1.75 are:
Top gear - 56 tooth.
Bottom gear - 60 tooth.
Gearbox/Leadscrew Levers - 4-R-A-C.
Too late now, but I wonder if the same set up would've been correct on your machine too🤔😁👍
Gday, The difference id say is my lathe has an imperial lead screw which I need to use the 127/120 gears to cut metric threads, Thanks for watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Ahh ok, yeh, that makes sense.
I'm guessing mine may have a metric lead screw then🤷♂️
Awesome video matty,
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
Thanks Matty
Thanks for watching mate, cheers

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Thx for a Great vid. Matty.
Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Nice job! Those came out great!
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching, cheers
You can get them from the UK but would have to put them on a diet as they are 15mm wide and do the bore for those that don''t want to cut the teeth. and I think it is a very common problem my lathe came from Taiwan and much older and same gear missing.
Gday, I haven’t looked to see if there available here in Australia, appreciate you watching and commenting mate, cheers
Noice work mate 👏👏👏
Robert
Thanks very much Robert, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Excellent, as usual !
