Grate video as always! you did a good job at making my clips look better, just hope everything fits together good now. And thanks to everybody for the kind comments just doing my part to help a friend out.
Wow, Luke That was amazing. Not just making those parts and filming them. Thank you so much. BTW, if you start making UA-cam videos, you already have some fans here.
@LCalleja Mark is fabulous in his league. I'm just a hobbyist, but preparing that setup to cut those chips, Luke, that was an amazing job. I hope you give it a try. Thank you both.
Wow! What a fascinating machine for the gear cutting! Thank you, Luke! And let's not miss the engraving contraption, how cool. Thanks for the Falcon clips in recent videos. I left that job a year ago, but I do still miss those machines. Cheers!
Thank you Luke, yours was probably made betterand I must say they are beautiful. Im sure knowing that a friend made the part I know means way more to him than just buying the parts.
excellent work Luke ! thanks for helping Mark. as for the threading tool, have a look at Carmex they have some holders where the insert is held vertical rather then horizontal, called external vertical threading holder, or you could just grind your own😁 I recall way back during the tailstock episode you said that you preferred the manual to the air tailstock, have you perhaps painted yourself into a corner, a little bit?
Hi Steve, I also have the Pneumatic tailstock, but need to get two very specific air fittings (which I have forgotten what the spec was, I know they were sold out when I looked them up). I now see that it is a better option for this sort of work :)
@@RotarySMP another option for threading tool clearance would be a long spindle tailstock center , it has a small diameter straight section. search for royal reduced diameter long point for an example
@@RotarySMP too bad you don't have the means to make an adapter between the tapped hole for the original bango fitting and a common festo fitting....oh wait 😉. and it would provide for another episode ,making the airlines and fitting the tailstock.
Seems like the intershaft bearing is the weak link in the design that is destined to always shorten the life of the backgears. After seeing what you did with the TURD LATHE can you adapt needle bearings in place of the existing intershaft bush bearing? Heck you've got to remake the shaft anyway. Just a thought. Thx for sharing. And B I G shout out to Luke for sharing his time in making his video. I have no doubt that all will turn out. I'm hoping that you end up with a robust and durable repair or redesign.
I am amazed at how overbuilt those gear sets are. The interstage bearing which came out was completely slogged out, but the gears show now damage or wear, except for the broken tooth from eating the woodruf key. I will rebuild it with an interstage bearig again, as this is a pressure oil system, and I am not sure if the gears will get enough oil, if it all flows out through a needle roller bearing. Given how little the saw is used in the home shop, I expect it to last easily the rest of my life. Andy Pugh sent me a link to such cup need bearings, and it would be an idea if I even need to go in there again.
Some replace the insteraft plain bearing with a needle roller bearing. I am going to stick with a plain bearing agin, as I expect it to last longer than me in home shop use.
@@LCalleja Luke, you've done an amazing job! I really appreciate the sense of community among home machinists. Your pantograph engraver brings shades of Stephan (though he's sold his on)
Once again I loved the video Mr SMP (or can I call you Rotary now?). Of course a massive shout out to Luke who did an amazing job with those gears. - Heather
Beautiful gears. Who doesn't watch gear cutting videos on YT. That shaft turning was nice too... :) Lots of mail time today. Great box of scraps there too. I'm lucky that I have a scrap place that has really cool stuff from Lockheed. Inconel and even had 5x12 sheets of titanium last time I was there. Not sure what I would use it for or how I would cut and work with it. My mail time the other day was a minisplit to add another ton of AC to the shop. It's still 100-106 here in TX... Doesn't end till late september.
It cooled down here last sunday after a cold front and squall line. Since then it has been really comfortable. Cool you have a Lockheed surplus nearby. Boeing Surplus in Renton was my favourite shop on earth until they closed it. I got this steel at a scrappy in Bratislava. Here in Vienna they dont let you go scrounging in the scrap.
@@RotarySMP We had a cold front too. Brought the temps down to just under 100* for a couple days. 107 by the end of the week but might be the end of that for the year. The scrap place buys from lockheed and has some cool stuff. They had several of their hydraulic test benches there as well as a while back they had barrels full of bolts that had the JSF logo stamped into the head. Small place but the guy knows me and I can run around there as much as I want. Always wanted to go to the Boeing one but never flew up there to go. A friend used to buy boxes of drill bits there. Drilled one hole then they were junk. Cheaper to use a new bit for every hole than to scrap tens of thousands and time on remaking parts if a hole got screwed up.
For heat-treatment, EN24 responds well to nitriding. You (probably) won't be doing that at home, but it doesn't cause any dimension changes, which might be useful.
Hi Andy. This will have to be a furnace heat, quenched in oil. Since Luke made two sets, I'll do one, and if it fails, I can still try and find a vender willing to nitride the second.
Great video! I have also burned myself with rogue G64's. I also find that I can stare at a problem for many hours to no avail, BUT, the minute I post for help to the LCNC forum, the solution occurs to me. Then the walk of shame for whatever boneheaded thing I did :(
Hi, I am Luke's dad, and his sister just sent me this clip. Nice job Luke and good job to you too. Nice of you to share your videos, enjoyed watching. I am an above elbow, right arm amputee and Luke made me a prosthesis when he was 15. Keep posting mate!
Damn, I remember setting up helical cutting like that back in trade school. Once. The teacher flat out said we'd never use it but he had to teach it because it was on the curriculum. And no, I've never used it since. Luke spent *a lot* of time on this for you :)
Agreed with the motorsport everyone in my house moaned about every Sunday watching bttc but I ended up sponsoring a drive took them to a couple of races now it’s religion in my house sat afternoon and a Sunday 👍🏽
Grate video as always! you did a good job at making my clips look better, just hope everything fits together good now. And thanks to everybody for the kind comments just doing my part to help a friend out.
Hi Luke. Thanks you once again for your generous assistance, and excellent workmanship.
Just glad to help out @@RotarySMP
@@LCalleja I am looking forward to our future colaborations😉
Me too@@RotarySMP
@@LCalleja Hey Luke, that was tremendously kind of you to help Mark out with his gearbox parts, Live long and prosper!!! 🖖🏻
Great job Luke!! The complexity of the machine setup to cut helical gears is just out of this world!
He spent some hours in the Mechinists handbook researching this. Top man.
It's quite complex but glad I tried it out as it was a good learning experience
Wow, Luke That was amazing. Not just making those parts and filming them. Thank you so much. BTW, if you start making UA-cam videos, you already have some fans here.
I hope he does. His workmanship and projects are brilliant.
I am tempted especially after all the kind comments but mark did all the hard work editing it
@LCalleja Mark is fabulous in his league. I'm just a hobbyist, but preparing that setup to cut those chips, Luke, that was an amazing job. I hope you give it a try. Thank you both.
It's a hobby for me too glad to see you enjoy it as well @@mrgreensworkshop
What a kindness! Thank you Luke, for the parts that you made and all the trouble that you went through in filming it.
Thanks for your comment.
It was no trouble at all its nice when you can help somebody out
How awesome is Luke? Wow! This kindness makes the world a better place to be and we really need it now. Thanks for the inspiration Luke.
Thanks for you kind words of appreciation of Luke, Glenn.
Thanks Luke from Portland, Oregon, USA
Thanks for that comment Jeff.
Thank you very much Luke! May the clamping force be with you!
I like that one. :)
Thanks I need it every now and again
Holy Cow that Helical Cutting Footage was amazing, Thank you Luke! and The Ditto Engraving! :D
It was fun editing Lukes footage, and I am really looking forward to having the DoAll back together.
Wow! What a fascinating machine for the gear cutting! Thank you, Luke! And let's not miss the engraving contraption, how cool.

Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you Luke! You’ve helped reduce my Sunday chore time!
Nice comment Jim :)
Great video and thanks to Luke from Malta for his fine job🙂
Thanks for showing Luke your support by commenting. I appreciate that.
Luke, wow, just wow. Amazing work. Thank you.
It really is, nice gears. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for your kind words it makes all worth while
That fella Luke is a champion.
You got it!!
Thank you Luke, yours was probably made betterand I must say they are beautiful. Im sure knowing that a friend made the part I know means way more to him than just buying the parts.
You are absolutely right there Scott.
Yeah, thanks Luke! Great shots of your work, love to see more
I am encouraging him to start a channel.
Fantastic progress in this installment! Looking forward to the next.
Thanks Luke, that’s some fine-looking craftsmanship! 👍

Thank you Luke, and the nut got chewed up by someone whacking it with a cold chisel to break it loose
That is brutal, but you may be right.
Where's Luke's link?
Luke doesn't yet have a channel.
Thank you @LCalleja amazing job!!!
It really is. Amazing work for his first ever gear cutting.
Possible to add an additional bearing?
Some replace the insteraft plain bearing with a needle roller bearing. I am going to stick with a plain bearing agin, as I expect it to last longer than me in home shop use.

Amazing bit of kindness from Luke. It is so good to see there are people like him in this world.
Thanks that is a very thoughtful comment. I completely agree.
Thanks a lot there are a lot of kind comments as well
Gives one hope for humanity.
Thanks Luke!

Luke is awesome. I've watched other machinists cut helical gears, and the set-up to do that is no trivial operation.👍👍👍
Good call Brian. Luke put a lot of work into them. Did a fantastic job.
well it was defiantly worth the effort that's the important part
Thank you, Luke. I can't describe how awesome this is. You're a top guy!
Hi Vince. Thanks for your support for Luke. Top workmanship.
Thanks just doing my part to help out a good guy
Amazing work Luke! Thank you for sharing your process!
His gears could be framed and put on the wall!
Thanks can wait to see the saw in action again
Thanks Luke!
Thanks for commenting Rick.
Cool project and progress.Thanks to Luke for making this possible :)
Thanks for that Bob.
Was glad to help its nice to see tools repaired instead of being replaced
Great video as always! And luke, wow! Incredible work on those gears!
He made a great job on them.
Nice to try something new especially when its for a good cause
Thank you Luke! Impressive work.
Thanks for the comment Victor.
Thanks I am glad I could help out
Thanks Luke for donating your time (and gearset bores) to the channel. Much appreciated!.
I agree. Thanks a lot.
Its a small price to pay for all the grate content that comes from Mark
Thank you Luke, a fantastic offer and great video.
It will be great to see the doall working after this.
Thanks for commenting Stephen. I really look forward to that.
Yes cant wait to see the DOALL cutting some steel thanks for your kind words
Based on the quality of the footage, I was certain Luke had his own channel! Way to go Luke, thanks!
I am encouraging him to start posting videos.
First time taking footage on my projects but Mark did all the hard work and got them up to scratch
That is some beautiful machine work Luke! A big thanks for getting the DoAll bandsaw project on the way to completion.
I agree wholeheartedly with that. Thanks.
Much love Luke!
Great worksmanship!
It sure it. Very generous with his time and efforts.
Thanks a lot
Lovely work Luke!
I see what you did there Mark 🤣 7:08

Thanks for your comment.
Thanks
Brilliant work from you both. Kudos to Luke from wonderful Malta. Best regards Sarah
Thanks Loyd.
Thanks just glad to help out
A big Aussie Onya to Luke for going above and beyond to do that for you, isn't the UA-cam community an amazing thing 👍
Absolutely. What a champ.
Never realised what a nice community there is here. Truly is an amazing thing and thanks for your kind words
@@LCalleja You're most welcome 👍
Its nice to see that all the hard work you put in is now giving nice results. Congrats
Thanks Robert.
Thanks Luke, you’re a legend mate.
He really is. Top workmanship.
Well I had to experiment on somebody hopefully they turn out good enough to use and thanks for your comment
All sorts of good forward movement this summer. You might actually have to make something that isn't tooling if you don't buy a new broken tool soon.
..or I break some tooling
🥵
Respect Luke, fabulous work!
Thanks for the Luke support Tony.
Thanks it was nice venturing out into the unknown for me :)
I think you could've mounted your threading tool upside down, looks like there was enough clearance on the chuck side
Hi Jonathon, Do you mean the insert one or the HSS one? I was threading away from a shoulder, so the Insert one would not have had clearance.
Once again I loved the video Mr SMP (or can I call you Rotary now?). Of course a massive shout out to Luke who did an amazing job with those gears. - Heather
Hi Heather. Thanks for your kind comment.
Mark
Well if it wasn't for this project I would have probably never tried to cut helical gears. Thanks for your kind works
@@LCalleja You're very welcome. Helical gear cutting is a great addition to your capabilities then. Some major bragging rights too.
just want to try bevel gears next:)@@GeoffTV2

Been an F1 fan since 1997 I don’t watch Drive to survive. Great video. Thank you Luke. Great work
Thanks for the comment. Drive to survive is kind of cool, but gets pretty repetitive (says the guy who watches car got round in circles :)
Special thanks to Luke. His willingness to make the gears, and film it, is wonderful.
Thanks for your comment Mark.

Making the gears was a nice challenge for me well even the filming part would have never done it without Marks engorgement
Thank you algorithm engaged.
Thanks for the.

Love to see lathe in action for real. Results looks really good too. But, where is nameplate cleaning part? Is it finally clean? :D
Thanks for that. The Nameplate is gathering gunk for it's next cleaning.
Great job Luke, I always wanted to see how Helical gears were cut on manual mill. As I have a bench top mill and wanted to try it.
Go for it Mark!
Luke, that's a sizeable job of work, and it's extremely nicely done. Good on you 👍
A very generous use of Lukes time. I really appreciate it
If Luke ever starts a YT channel please let me know. I’ll immediately subscribe to his channel
Will do. I have been encouraging this.
