cutting gears

[dallen]

I haven't been doing to much with this right now need to get back on it, but the mini mill is eating up time like no ones business. I have th arbor cut for a tight 5/8 fit and the dog end I cut it square did it after taking the picture.

I appreciate all the info. I have received the cutter that I ordered that is the correct one to cut gears for my lathe with in the 20 to 25 tooth range, I hope to buy the complete set here pretty quick finances are pretty tight at the moment.

and yes I understand the od is an indrect referance, if the bore is off it doesn't matter what the od is them cause your bore won't be centered in the gear, I plan on making the bores undersized then rebore them after the teeth are cut.
