Synopsis

Master the practical craft of gear making and spindle work with proven shop methods.

This book presents hands‑on guidance on bevel gear work, cutter selection, and the rolling method used to approximate true tooth shapes. It explains how to set up milling machines for bevel gears, choose the right cutters, and run trial cuts to refine depth and form. You’ll also see how gear accuracy is tested and how indexing, center alignment, and off‑center rolling affect the final tooth geometry. The material also covers practical steps for finishing gears and aligning components on the machine tools used in real shops.


Beyond gears, the text delves into spindle construction and deep drilling. It describes spindle materials, straightness and runout checks, and the various drills used for through‑hole work. Practical tips cover making extended drills, using oiling systems, and finishing the hole for concentric accuracy. The chapters tie these techniques to common shop tasks, from drilling spindles in lathes to finishing the gear surfaces on milling machines.



  • How to select and size cutters for bevel and spur gear work

  • Approaches to trial cuts, indexing, and adjusting gear geometry

  • Techniques for spindle drilling, deep drilling, and oil circulation

  • Finishing methods for accurate holes and gear surfaces


Ideal for readers of machine shop practice who want concrete, test‑proven methods and practical setup tips.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Pictures are a great help in understanding a machine shop operation. It is often possible, with a few halftones, to convey ideas that would require many pages of written matter to express them. In the present pamphlet advantage has been taken of this facility of the photograph to express ideas, so that a long story has been told in comparatively few words. While the process of forming the teeth of a bevel gear, by milling them with a rotary cutter, is not easy to describe without telling how to make a drawing of the blank, it seems best to leave the designing and drawing for a treatise more particularly dealing with this subject alone. The average apprentice approaches the problems of the maG ear 36 Teeth Pinion 21 Teeth Involute 6P itch hinery ff. f. Fig. 1.

The DrawingF ig. 1represents the drawing of a bevel gear and its pinion, as it is given to the workman. It is to be noted that draftsmen are not all bound by the same conventions, but this drawing is as it would be made by at least one large firm who cuts many bevel gears. All dimensions other than those necessary to our description have been omitted to avoid confusion. The description will, therefore, be confined to those operations bearing upon the subject at hand, and will show what, in the authors estimation, should be the best order of operation to insure accuracy, convenience, and speed.
