Making gear cutters in the home workshop using Eureka tool

In this video, I make a Eureka form relieving tool based on the design in Ivan Law's book Gears and Gear Cutting. Having made the tool, I use it to make a set of Module 0.6 gear cutters.
The steps in the video are: make the Eureka tool itself; make the button tools that are used to profile the cutters; make the set of gear cutters.
In the video, I make the mandrel and indexing sleeve for the tool. I had already made the other components.
I made number 2 to number 7 cutters. A number 1 cutter is needed to make gears with 135 or more teeth, which is a size I don't expect to need. A number 1 cutter also requires a button tool with very large diameter buttons, which can be impractical without cutting away portions of the buttons to avoid clashes with the Eureka tool.

Folks, this is the first time I've seen a video about making the truly wonderful 'Eureka'. As far as I know it's the only video about it. The tool solves a very, very tricky problem, that of automating the manufacture of the complex tooth shapes required on an an involute gear cutter. It can make cutters for any size of gear with any number of teeth within its size range - either diametrical or modular pitch. It really is a wonderful invention and I strongly recommend anyone interested in gears to have read of the book mentioned in this video. You will learn a lot! Liked and sub'd.

I first saw this device about 10 years ago and fell in love with it. At the time I had plans to build some things requiring gears but life changed and I never built the tool or the project. This is an excellent addition to Ivan's book and will serve to guide those who will build this tool!! Excellent. Thanks.

Years ago, I built a hydraulic relieving attachment. It had a large cam with 8 lobes that drove a piston placed beneath it like a steady rest clamp. The cam was mounted on the same mandrel as tool blank, between centers. The piston was plumbed to a slave cylinder with a reciprocating piston in the toolpost. This slave piston had the tool bit sticking out. This worked. The problem is vibration and chatter marks on the work as the tool enters. So i did the relieving before I cut the gashes, this way I could pick the best position to make the gash. I did all this because I couldn't find a special stub tooth gear cutter. Otherwise it's difficult to justify the time spent doing this.

@MetalMachineShop
@MetalMachineShop 11 місяців тому
The round tool profile is not an exact involute, but it is close enough for practical purpose and for small gears you will not notice a difference.

I was exciting to see how you'd make the involutes for some specific pitch diameters, without using CNC, but you didn't. I don't understand how you can use a circular profile to create an involute gear.
@MetalMachineShop
@MetalMachineShop 11 місяців тому
The circular profile is a very close approximation to an involute so for practical applications it’s fine. For critical, professional applications maybe not so much.
