Loved the video, being a toolmaker myself I can honestly say that the sad fact is most of the people who know how to do this are gone. Got my journeyman's card in 2000 and was trained by what I call the old school guys that came up before cnc and the things you show unfortunately are a dieing art....and it is an art form. Never had a problem finding a job but finding the people who truly understand what you're doing here on a mathematical level is hardto do. Keep up the vids, we need all machinists to see what it took then, cause there was when was no other way. Note to young machinists: never dismiss the old dude .

The shaft coming out the back of the dividing head is geared to the lead screw (table) in this case. The table feed is driving the dividing head which in turn drives (revolves) the chuck. This "times" the table feed to the rate of the chuck's revolution creating the cam. Does that help?

i got that part. what i am asking is the shaft going into the dividing head that comes from the lead screw, does that turn the dividing plate (with all the holes) which turns the shaft that the crank is mounted to which then turns the dividing head or does the shaft coming from the lead-screw go strait to the shaft the handle is on? if shaft coming from the lead-screw turns the dividing plate you could just index like normal if it turns the handle then yea you have to pull a gear.

So Brad. too clarify, Starting from the first lobe. You moved the table 1''. to cut lobe 1. Then you turned feed off, spindle off..take back gear off...move table back to '0'. move table towards cutter, gear back on, dial at '0' ...spindle on, feed on, move the table until dial reads 1". and then repeat the process for the other 2 lobes right?

Robert Silas Yes, the camera work is sometimes an issue for me. Honestly can't say I have it all figured out...some videos end up in the delete bin.

Gear is installed and procedure repeated. Thanks for watching and commenting.

From the picture you sent I can see your problem. If you can remove that housing there should be a gear on the table lead screw. You should be able to add an idler (you might need to machine a bracket) and gear it to your dividing head. An alternative is to raise your dividing head, you will still need idlers to mesh your gear train. Thanks for sending the picture.

The problem you have is the hob is a "form cutter" which means it is relieved behind the cutting edge. If you sharpen it the form becomes smaller requiring the table to be moved and take several passes. You will see grooves along the hob parallel to the bore, the cutter face is found here not the OD. If you cut the OD you will change the envelope seat of the worm. Hope this makes sense.

why pull the gear off when you could just index your dividing head 10 turns and be done with it. if you are worried about the cutter moving on the part when you back it out the cutter will be clear of the part before the slack in the gears are taken up and the part turn backwards.

On a piece of paper draw a circle, the diameter will be twice the distance from the center of the heart to the bottom. Now draw vertical line through the middle of the circle touching the circle at 12 and 6 o'clock. Draw your heart starting at 6 o'clock and (uniformly) moving inward until you get to 12. Now uniformly move back out from 12 to 6 o'clock moving in the same direction. It doesn't matter if you went clockwise or counter-clockwise. You should now have your heart inside the circle. The circle is the material you start with the heart is the material you finish with. Now measure from the center of the circle to the bottom, 6 o'clock, point of the heart. Measure from the center of the circle to top of the heart, 12 o'clock. Subtract top value from bottom value, the answer is HALF your lead (based on the change in 360 degrees). I hope this makes sense.

I never liked math in high school, But once I got into the trade, Math took on a whole new meaning... Then I loved it. That's the truth..

It makes more sense to me when I can apply it.

+ThomasTheSailor Chubby Yeah, it was a real eye opener to use the math I'd learned in school that everyone said we'd never need as computers were coming into the forefront of everything. As a former pipefitter and welder from the petrochemical industry, it was a real help up the totem pole just to know simple geometry and algebra. I was running crews of guys half again my age, but while I may have known how to read the plans better than the others, I'll be forever grateful for all of the commonsense things they taught me in the field. Now I'm hooked on learning how to machine things and will be brushing up on my math, and hopefully even expanding it to include Trigonometry! :)

Knolltop Farms Go for it.. You'll never regret it.. It actually creates another urge to learn.. I love it.. I actually have a CNC wood router and a craftsman metal lathe at home, cuz I love it.. It's alot more fun when You can do your own projects. There's a life time of things to learn..

ThomasTheSailor Chubby Thanks man, I'm already set up with an appointment at the somewhat local Jr. college's counselor's office to see about enrolling. I too have an Atlas lathe(10x36 TH 54) and also a 1919 South Bend 13" with a six foot bed and I'm in love with making things again. I burned out on welding on refineries and tank farms, but having a home shop has kindled a new fire in my belly, and my lack of know-how is holding me back. So, like Rodney Dangerfield did in the 80's, I'm "Going Back to School" :D

+Thaddeus M Machinery's handbook. The best 100 bucks I've ever spent. Of all the tools I have and use I can't think of a more valuable one. It gives all the formulas you could ever imagine or need.

+User Name Hi. If you had or still have your old brown Kennedy 520 machinist's tool box, the big drawer in the middle is for the Machinery's hand book. You knew that!

2- 10” chucks mounted to the backside of the backsplash to colchester in the background. I must know more.

The weight of one chuck is pretty significant. Did you add structure to support all that weight?

what is the benefit of this process over milling it in a CNC?
