Hey Keith - I got started cutting gears 40 years ago at Cat Tractor E. Peoria IL. Watching you work through this process brought back all kinds of memories. Thank you.

Hi Keith. As an old and retired engineer I love watching this stuff. Takes me back to the first year of my career as technical apprentice in the company's apprentice workshop. That was 51 years ago. Start of a very satisfying career. A word of advise to all, if I may. One of the trickiest tasks of any machine operator is approaching the job with the machine tool. Not so bad if you have plenty of meat to remove from a blank but if you are dealing with a finished component I always used a small piece of newspaper. You soak it in wet solly, or just plain spit, and stick it down flat on the job. The tool will whizz that paper off before it makes contact with the job,. Gets you within 2 thou of the surface.Thanks again Keith.
Great idea, to bad you couldn't just use some spit mixed with Dye?
I think the biggest draw to channels like these, is the authenticity of the content. We are assaulted daily by such loads of mis-information and dis-information, that we are naturally drawn to something we can trust.
I do like this format of showing one section of a job at a time rather than the whole job. It then builds into a "how to" library of videos. There is still a place for the whole job video as well as that can include other nuances not in the individual opperations, and this stops the need to explain every time you cut a gear what you are doing.Nice one!
Keith, you're a true inspiration to all of us amateurs. I always learn lots from you. I've recently acquired a Harig 612 Surface Grinder and this is my first surface grinder (at age 73!). When you discuss surface grinding projects would you please mention at least the grain size and the grade of the wheel you're using on each project? Abrasive type, density and bond type is also of interest for us who are just getting started. Thanks for your videos. Mike, Charlottesville, VA
Looks great, Keith. The first time I made a gear I felt like I'd really accomplished something. Of course most of that was just having patience and not screwing it up since it was a 32 tooth gear. I brought it in for show-and-tell at work and my computer dweeb friends thought I was some kind of metal god. Hilarious ...
thank you from England, I have a Tom Senior and an ancient Myford and Drummond but haven't done anything for years. This is a much needed refresher course for me
Having been in the same position I know how happy the owner will be to get a new gear set
You are a asset to the machinery enthusiast
Community thank you for sharing your time knowledge and equipment with other
Another job that was neatly done -- and that saves an old machine from the scrap heap.
I certainly have enjoyed this video as I have never tried and never had need for a horizontal mill. Thanks for the great learning lesson.
Good one, Keith, I love seeing the horizontal mill in action, it's my favourite machine.
Great video Keith. I always like to watch a bit of horizontal milling. Best wishes.
Keith you are good teacher I enjoy your presentation.
Another great one Keith thanks for all your hard work, stay safe and dry, have a good day and a better tomorrow
Thank you Keith! What a great project.
@Keith - Amazing work, the accuracy is impressive. What a beautifully finished product.
keith - You enjoy cutting the gears and I enjoy watching mill work. Milling machines are very interesting. learned a lot also.
Thanks Keith. Your videos are of professional quality and I appreciate the effort that goes into making them.
I like seeing the horizontal milling machine in action. Another great video Keith. My daughter and I watch them all the time.
Excellent post Keith.
Great job Keith, I want to comment that you did a fantastic job placing the camera, with all the equipment on the table. Thanks much.
Beautiful work, Keith!
Good job Keith. I live in Young Harris, GA and I watch you and Adam or Abomb all the time. Really enjoyed it.
One of your best videos, great camera angles, great audio, but most importantly - great instruction. Thanks! And congrats on 100k!
*I am happy with your work, too, Keith. And thank you for the effort you put forth and the striving it takes to be such a good teacher and editor of your filming.*
You always make the projects look so easy which is a sign of extensive experience. Love all the different camera angles during the cutting process and the thorough explanation of each step. The finished product is definitely a piece of art. Am looking forward to you surpassing the 100K benchmark. Thanks much for all your great videos.
Cool! I always wanted to see gears being made on a horizontal mill. Thanks for sharing Mr.Keith!
Excellent vid as always. I hope the impact of the impending hurricane is minimal on you and your family (and the new shop!).
Another great video. Hope the hurricanes are kind to you and Mike, as well as all the other residents of the S.E.
Looking forward to seeing you guys at Arnfest,
Rollie
What a good series on shafting & gear cutting Keith. Very enjoyable. Stay safe and dry from Irma. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing, I do not have the machines that you do, however, you have taking me back on time when I was at school, thank you and have a nice day.
Never to old to learn, and you are a great teacher, many thanks.
kieth loved this one ! you are a fine teacher I have been praying for all you people down there that huricane Irma dosent make a mess for you. Mark from northern MN
I always enjoy watching your videos Keith.
I've been waiting for this vid. Great job, Keith! Its amazing how much time it takes to make such a small part.
Fantastic work as always Keith! Your videos always answer those little questions and thoughts I have in mind regarding "how is that made".
Great job Keith. As a novice, I have found this a most interesting series of videos, thank you
A useful subject, well presented. Thanks Keith
Great Video Keith. When you did not mention changing the cutter, I was holding my breath hoping that you had actually made the change. Thanks for all you do

Keith, you are a talented man. Love watching your videos.
Awesome. My father in law was a Master Machinist, trained in WWII Navy. I always delighted in watching him work in his shop at home. His skills provided very well for his family. As an educator, I totally encourage students to explore the Skilled Trades. It's criminal at so many levels that our nation has lagged behind in this. God willing with encouragement of youth these skills will again flourish in Aa Erica. Thank you Sir, for sharing your love of craft and skill.
When I was in high school, I was discouraged from taking shop classes because "That kind of work will all be done by robots in a few years" according to my counselors. That was more than 40 years ago. Robots are still largely limited to major production work and skilled labor positions are difficult for employers to fill due to a lack of trained people. My skills have kept me employed and making a good living. Of course, I have also pursued a learning for life program. Watching these videos is a small part of it.
awesome machinery work injoy all of the work into making that gear set, thank you for sharing it with me and all youtuber"s
I always enjoy gear cutting. I agree that you get that personal satisfaction after creating a nice part like that.
Well done as usual. Thanks, Keith
Hi Keith. I really enjoy your machining videos. Thanks.
Wow Keith am I impressed!! In 35 minutes you cut two gears - takes me that long to get my butt out to the shop. THANK you for the great videos Rod
Very nice job. Enjoyed watching. Love the spreadsheet.
Great work thanks for sharing your many skills Keith
Thank you sir, my father was a machinist so I can appreciate your skills and knowledge.
Central California watching
great work mr. rucker
Looking forward to the completed spread sheet!
super nice gears, good job!!
Brought back some memories from my time with the MOD and the Royal Ordnance Factory here in the UK...🤔🤔
Keith, I haven't cut gears for years, but there might be a small job coming up for me soon. This has been a good refresher course for me. I have access to a milling machine in the workshop of a Railway society that I belong to, but it is a long way from home.
we always see work being done on your show. love the channel. your # 1 with me
Always informative. Thanks Keith.
Also, CONGRATULATIONS on the imminent arrival to the 100K club!
pretty cool gear making
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Your work inspires me 👌🤘
Nice work there
Nice job haven't done that type of job in a while..contributed to more knowledge on gear teeth cutting
WOW! Great job.
Hello Keith,
looking at your videos and the way you explain everything ,i feel i'm taking a college course... ... after watching your videos, you sir are a very brilliant machinist,,,,,,,thank you sir for sharing with us
AWESOME JOB KEITH.. Thumbs up !
Exact same setup I have in my home shop.. I have both the model h and model k dividing heads along with foot stock for each.. I have a 2h plain K&T but have not cut gears with it yet as I usually use my 2hl universal with low lead box for gear cutting..I have had success cutting helical gears with my setup... Mike in Louisiana
Very clear as always.
Thanks for the video great job very educational
Keith, nice job, regards Frank
I'm new to your show and thanks for talking and not putting just words up
Great work, thats amazing..... Thanks for sharing
Hi Keith, it looks like you might be in for a little storm in the next few days or so, wishing you and your family the best of luck and keep safe from Melbourne Australia.
Beautiful!
Thanks for another great video!!!
Nice !!!!
Great work. Love your channel !!
keith nice work.
Awesome video!!
Great job, thanks for the video.
Great job, as usual
Great teaching.
Really enjoyed that Keith--machining videos are my favourite..cut a few gears myself but do not regard my self as any expert--I have a set of involute gear cutters but they are not stamped clearly and its a pain
Thanks Keith , I know you have shown similar videos in the past on the same but I always pick up something new. Could you give us a run through on the gear tooth measuring vernier please.
well done
Thinking of you and hope Irma doesn't hit you too bad, next week. It ought to fill your pond up!
Great job!
Wow looks great!
that was really interesting!
Great video sir
GREAT VIDEO !!
All I can say is you have some cool machines. Wished I had the room!!!!!!!
*( very good and thorough teaching )*
i enjoyed this informative video, i dread gear cutting
Great video as usual. Thank you for mentioning that you changed out the cutter. I was getting a little concerned.
Wonderful video. Thank uou
Great job Keith. Matt C.
Be sure to let us know when you make hypoid (like used in an old style differential) or spiral bevel gears (as used on CNC machines)!!!
Good Job!!!!
I liked how you marked the small gear with dots. I understand how you would index the gear to each position, please tell how you guided the marker to the same spot so well... when you were cutting each tooth the cutter went through each dot, so I know you placed them quite precisely. Looks like a good sanity check.
Brilliant 👍👍
Nice work! When I started watching you only needed 28 more subscribers!
Brought back memories for me too...Cut my teeth ( pun intended...) on a couple of Archdale Horizontal millers way back in the mid 80's, we had a couple of peg board autos as well...miss those days
