I can now make my own (end mill style) gear cutters thanks to Ivan Law, John Stevenson, MikesWorkshop, and a lot of video's on YouTube.

This is how I do it

Making gear cutters and (helical) gears on the lath and on the mill

That's very clever. Certainly a different way of doing things but makes a lot of sense.

That's a very ingenious method of making the tools, thanks for sharing it.

John,

An article is a good Idea and a lot of readers could benefit. I really would like to do this and thought about it the whole day, but I can't do it.

Due to my health, the time I can spent behind a PC is limited. The making of this video was way beyond what my body can bear and now, as expected, I suffer the consequences. It will take me a few months to recover.

I hope some body else can do this!

Best regards, Huub

Huub, I sent you a PM.
