are the gears strong enought to be attatched to a lawnmower engine, so that it can drift a machine?
sorry my bad english :0)

if you mount the handle closer to the center of the gear then it’s surprisingly easier to turn the machine.

could you somehow make a motor for it?

One of these days, I’m going to make a gear like this then use it for a pattern to cast in aluminum..someday! =D

Definitely not the program. Maybe your laser cutter. Laser printers can also distort a bit. Just print it with an ink jet printer.

First of all I love your videos and hope to eventually get around to making some of your machines. I have used your Gear Generator program to create plans for some gears that I cut out. I noticed that the gears generated are very slightly elliptical and therefore are prone to jamming. At first I thought this was my cutting or my printer but when I export the gears to .DXF and take them into illustrator for laser cutting, on larger gears the height can be 0.5 mm out from the width. Any Ideas?

You make a hardboard template as described by: driftingcompass here on youtube.
It is Easy, Fast & Quick method for people who do want a precise angle cut on the gears.

Hardboard Template
If the gears are 90 degrees from each other you start out w/ the method you describe, since the gears need to be cut on a angle use a template guide bushing and a 6 degree dovetail bit.
You will need to consider the distance from the outside of the guide bushing to the area of the cutting surface on the router bit, which is your off set.
Once your template has been made larger to accomodate the offset your ready to route the sides of your teeth, so you have a undercut.

would you know of a material that is machinable/cutable with wood tools. Possibly a method of hardening/strengthening wood or similar material? I’ve been making several designs of a ropemaking machine, but out of steel [machined or welded/drilled steel parts. The steel is much more time/material intensive than a wooden model. Question then becomes length of service and saleability. The short term best is wood based?, regards,

I just slapped myself in the forehead when I saw you use a drill press to clean up the little spaces between the teeth “ahead of time”. Lol I was making it WAY to difficult with all the twisting and turning I was doing on my band saw. My dad and I both really appreciated this video and I’m going to be buying the full version of your gear program as well. Great work. 🙂

Excellent video. I had no idea how gears are made or could be made. I feel slightly smarter.

I think you’re talking about ring gears. If so, just print out the proper gear size that you’ll need and paste it onto a slightly larger circular piece of wood. Cut out the INSIDE as opposed to the outside.
