Not Hollywood but I think gets the ball over the net. please watch the video I think LOL.
I am making new H/L gears for the mini lathe in aluminium 4041 T6.bar.
Using the lathe?RES on the lathe to produce blanks for 12T 20T 21T and 29T gears.
a set of mandrels and the step indexer now linked to the DDCSV CNC control, all hands free and why not.
After 58 years of wanking machine handles, i am now retired, wife says retarded.?

Most days I am running a 5" (125 mm) chuck, the plastic gears or me is a NO NO, in fact IMHO a 3" (80 mm dia ) chuck, also a NO NO.
Currently using steel gears, but the noise is deafening, I cannot hear my Mozart music while working.
So I have designed new ally gears, CNC cut teeth, gashed with a slitting saw first, then using mod 2 involute cutters.
Teeth will be cut a little fat, and during assembly to the head stock, if a little tight, then back onto the mill and shave some more off.

FYI, the OE Real Bull lathe plastic gears do not conform or measure up to the normal Ivan Law metric gear calculations, OH well, we can sort that out.
At this moment, less is more.

Hope of interest.

John, I thought you were using #RELS and had eliminated the gears? What did I miss?

I am talking about Head stock gears.with the H L shift lever.and a?
layshaft.
All the screw cutting gears and banjo have gone.
Cheers

John,

That is really impressive!? What are you doing while the machine cuts the gears on its own???? ;-)

My wife has already spotted me leaning on my bench drinking tea while
the machine does it?s thing,?
So it?s"Honey do" jobs. LOL??
Even offered to take the cats for a morning walk, naturally the villagers would think
I am even more crazy.?
