    When working for my uncles in their small shop we used to manufacture small worm gears for a company that used 1/2-13 threaded rod to make their worms. We cut the gears on a Barber-Coleman #3 gear hobbing machine using a 1/2-13 tap. Obviously you need to calculate the proper diameter of the gear blank but using only the downfeed of the machine it produced beautiful throated worm gears by the hundreds. Nice video.

      how to fix the gear diameters For the screw of pitch?

    • @williamstyers4264
      @williamstyers4264 5 лет назад +11

      @@user-ec3ij6mt3p We converted the 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod to the comparable diametral pitch which is 40.83 DP. Using standard worm gear calculations for the 100 tooth gear (number of teeth/diametral pitch) give a value of 2.449 inches for the pitch diameter. The worm gear in this case was throated so standards call for the throat diameter to be the pitch diameter + (2 X addendum). As this was a non-critical application we chose to treat the addendum as one half of the whole depth of the thread (in this case .0472 inches) and add that to the pitch diameter. The outside diameter of the worm gear is pitch diameter + (3 X addendum) so the finished bronze gear blank ended up being 2.520 inches. OD = PD + (3 X addendum) Hope this was not too confusing.

      @Ol' Camo Somemthing that I have figured out over the yers is that there are many different kinds of machinist. You have folks that make one off parts, they tend to have tight tolerances and can take more time to achieve prefection and people that are what I call production machinists who focus more on speed and just stay between the linse as perfection only adds cost. I find that someting these two groups but heads a bit.
      There is also a line between manual and CNC machinists or even mill and lathe machinists, they to can be a bit tribal.
      Point is that if your making parts for a living your a machinist hell you could only use a file to make em and still call yourself a machinist the only real question is are you a good one and even that could be subjective.

    using this method you are machining the gear with varying pitch diameter because you are using the cross feed. What I did was to machine the od of the blank with a groove matching the id of the tap and a circumference which is a multiple of the pitch of the tap, Then bring it in with cross feed onto the end of the taper of the tap. Then use the saddle to feed the gear onto the tap. The cut is done always at the same diameter on the wheel.

    How would you ensure that the point where the threads meet on the new piece are equal to the rest of the threads? It seems as you cut deeper into the material, the point where the threads are cut at the deepest point may not be equal given the circumference. In essence, the point where the new teeth begin to be cut off by the tap

    How do you ensure the gear meshes when the worm has turned 360, or did you just keep pushing it into the tap until they do? In which case each movement of the transverse will cut on a new circumference and the new cuts will be out of sync with the previous.

      This is mostly just for making a worm gear without a specific number of teeth, but you could do some calculations using threads per inch and circumference of the circle to determine how many teeth you would get at the end.

    and still i am always wondering how the start and the end of the gear groves will come to a magic overlap - especially because the diameter of the work piece will start to shrink during machining. (same wondering when it comes to grid pattern engraving on a late using a set of rolling engraver wheels put with some pressure onto the work piece...)

    • @OOEarth
      @OOEarth 5 лет назад +1

      You are right. It seems like magic. I think the diameter has a lot to do with it. The diameter would have to be divisible to the thread pitch; I think or something like that Joe Pieczynski has an alright video on knurling. It deals with timing of knurls, and the diameter affecting the final outcome. I know its not the same just some food for thought.

    I made a 350 teeth alu worm wheel for astro use some years back.I paid great attention to perpendicularity and to keep vibrations under control.I used a ball bearing cell which the toothwheel rotated on,
    i fed aprox. 1/3 of the diameter of the actual taper(cutter) and technical alcohol as lubricant.No oil when working with alu!

    Clever use of a screw tap. I myself have 35 years of mechanics and never had seen
    this trick. But you had to calculate the primitive diameter of the blank, to get it right.
    Maybe using a tap with spiral grooves the cut is smoother?

    • @deltaxcd
      @deltaxcd 10 лет назад +6

      Any diameter will be fine as you will just grind it until everything fits, if you chose wrong diameter you will just need more time.
      also he is not moving everything up down so he got worm gear.

    • @9sec93lx
      @9sec93lx 10 лет назад +27

      Blank diameter is figured as follows: (thread pitch) x teeth number desired divided by Pi (3.1416). Example if you used a 1/2 x 13 tap and wanted a 72 tooth gear. Ex: .0769" Thread Pitch x 72 teeth = 5.5368 divided by Pi = 1.762"

    Por otro lado la fundición, posee intersticiones de grafito, que es un lubricante natural

      The OD of the part has to be figured out by the number of teeth on the tap. Number of teeth divided into the circumference. You play around with the diameter and teeth until it is even, no over lapping.
