Re: Machinists Corner I've seen those square drilling heads before. LOTS of parts moving and some make it over complicated. I like this one myself. Friction drilling.. Flow Drilling - Friction Drilling - Form Drilling - YouTube |
Re: Machinists Corner Does anyone know where to find (or maybe get rid of one) a shank arbor with a 7/8" stub for mounting a involute cutter? I have found all kinds with a 1" stub. |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
You could also make one easily assuming it is a smooth bore. |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
I have looked at those places and many others, I did find 1 for $111.00 :shock:, and yeah it needs a key for holding the cutter to the arbor. http://images2.mcmaster.com/Contents...g?ver=24998661 |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
I will look around a bit and see if I find anything, I did look a little but havent found one yet. Seems like a bit of an oddball size, why didnt they make it 3/4" or 1"? |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
Actually they list it at 22mm (.881) or 7/8" , China :roll: |
Re: Machinists Corner Well what do you know, E Bay comes through again , and it's a USA made :shock: arbor for $43.00 :mrgreen: |
Re: Machinists Corner I have a steel plate 2" thick cut to 6" X 7" by a torch and I need to bore a 1 1/2" hole through it and turn it down to 5 1/4" O.D. by 1 1/2" thick to produce the blank I need to make a gear from. What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? The 2" thick plate being so odd shaped, should I use cutoff wheels to trim down closer to size and turn to diameter I need with it mounted between centers or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thanks for any advice. |

Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
Hmmm, would this require a 4 jaw chuck? That I do not have yet, I have outside jaws for my 6" 3 jaw chuck though. Also I do not have a faceplate yet either, though that will be on my shart list to come. |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
You keep saying "turn". Do you have a lathe available? How about a mill? Cnc or manual? It sounds like you could have started with a better piece of material. Your making a gear? Did you check mcmaster for blanks? |
Re: Machinists Corner Its actually not too much a pain. Unless you are in a hurry. Three jaw works just fine if you leave enough stock to clean up when you turn down to size. |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
And yes, McMaster - $80.00, my piece $10.00. |
Re: Machinists Corner You can also do the opposite and drill a whole using an id chuck and turn it down chucking on the I.d. |
Re: Machinists Corner Quote:
That's kind of my thought. I was thinking that if I can get it shaped to a fairly round shape, center drill it, drill completely through it and then use a boring head to get my I.D. to fit the arbor I have which is the same size as the shaft it will eventually go on and the turn it to the O.D. I need. Then go from there. It will eventually have to go to the arbor to mount between centers on my dividing head to cut the teeth. |
Re: Machinists Corner Yeah, It probably just sounds like a pain to me because I deal mostly with cnc these days. I have a big chunk of 5.5" round 4340 layin here that I could chop you off a piece if you wanted. I could do the blank if you wanted but, by that time..youll probably be close to the price you mentioned above. Edit: nevermind, I just saw that you have all those machines. You got it handled! |

Re: Machinists Corner 6 Attachment(s) Here are some pics of what I have and what the gear looks like, it is not your normal gear blank. |
