Gear Cutter

Well I've got to start somewhere, I've been lurking around here long enough.
Here is my approximate involute gear cutter, turned down from some un-known steel from the calculations from this siteInvolute Gears

It was then pack hardened for 2 Hrs. at 1800* F And the teeth honed on a diamond lap.

Set up in my homemade knee mill (Witch will be another post as soon as I get a few more pics.)

And the final gear.

Although I believe I forgot to add the extra for whole depth plus clearance it does run on the lathe, but a little noisier than the other change gears.
