Yes, I am aware of this problem. the fact is that I did not accurately enough made the dividing disk. The machine itself works very accurately, now I am making a new disk and after installing it I will shoot another video where I will make perfect gears. this video presents the very idea of an automatic machine

This is one nice machine with a bucket full of ideas for a low end gear maker. Thanks for posting.

As for indexing, at some point it will make a lot of sense to come up with a stepper or servo based solution. Plain DC motors are not good at stopping in the same place consistently. That does add some complexity but today it is almost a canned solution with Arduino's.

I agree, stepper motor and arduino. It's very simple. The idea was that everything would work on pure mechanics. I enjoy creating such projects. they have a soul
