You know what I mean?

[myusernameisluc]

What was there first; the machine or the gears?

I will never complain about the cost of gears.

[Cdabek]

why not heat treat the metal then cut it? i know thats how "watt drive" makes their gears.

[Saltaren]

@Cdabek It would be a waste of money to heat treat all gears if some of them won't met the specifications anyway. It is also because untreated metal doesn't cause as much wear on the manufacturing tools as heat treated / hardened metal.

[Cdabek]

@Saltaren Actually they dont use cutters to cut them again after heat treatment, they grind them. you are right though cutting them with regular inserts would destory both

[tinram745]

@Cdabek how would you cut it, if it was heat treated?

[Cdabek]

@tinram745 no cutting, grinding.

[MikkoMuhis]

@Cdabek

It's cheaper and alot alot faster to cut than heat treathing and grinding.

Cutting is cheaper anyway, plus that what faster the job is done, that cheaper it becomes.

[MikkoMuhis]

@Cdabek

Oh, and I forgot one thing, when heating a metal it loses it's shape. To get accurate final shape, it must be done while it's cold.

@cal352 Looks like a Fellows gear shaper.

Made a lot of gears on those type machines about 25 years ago.

[alanhowitzer]

how did the machines that make gears get their gears?

[cal352]

@alanhowitzer they grow on trees.

[Mjarf88]

@alanhowitzer Patient mechanics with files?

[someoftheyouse]

@alanhowitzer that sir, is what's known as a chicken and egg senario.

[Serostern]

@alanhowitzer A hobo with a file.

[deagle67]

@alanhowitzer aliens.

[FlyLowMr]

@alanhowitzer by hand...

[1curt12]

@alanhowitzer direct drive, no hears!, i know im a smart ass but hey what ya gonna do. cheers!

[AlexanderKing1988]

@alanhowitzer Older machines were driven by leather belts and pulley systems. some really old ones were even made of wood.

[gredangeo]

@alanhowitzer from a larger machine. :)

[kukkahattu2010]

@alanhowitzer You can made them from wood. My Grandfathers father build windmill about 120 year ago, there was 2 gears, one with 10 tooth and another 32. Both made from hardwood. It is quite big but it works. You can shape wood by saw, axe, knife etc.

[voiceofreason2008]

@alanhowitzer the machines that make the gears are CNC (computer numeric control) machines in other words programmable machines, they are or were made by hand at one point which made them expensive and so werent very common then as more CNC machines were made they too could make parts for CNC machines and other mechanical applications

So what started as a purely human task requiring immense amounts of time and money is now mainly a machine based job but it costs a lot!

[KPGorKFC]

how is the first gear is made?

[gardenofarcane]

@KPGorKFC It fell from sky!

[HUGUESIRA]

3:50 hey honey!! how was work?

[BallerSkier]

now thats is precision motherfuykers

[kuma982]

wat is the machine doing @ 2:28 ?

[kiaoken]

@kuma982 thats just components of the cutting machine keeping cutter's up & down movement timed

[Serostern]

@kuma982 Timing for the cutter.
