Monarch 10EE Lathe Gear Segment, Part 3: Cutting Gear Teeth on the Horizonal Mill 

Nice work! :) Glad someone cares about the machines that built the base for most of the good things we have today. And I wouldn't worry too much about negative comments :) You show actual work being done, they demonstrate their ability to write youtube comments. I know which of those two I respect more.

Thank's for another great video Keith. You explain everything so well it makes it easy to follow.

man, those 4 Gerstners behind you look good!

Thanks for sharing the journeyman to apprentice tips: don't tighten the unsupported arbor, wipe the inside and outside of the taper, go with the lower of 2 possible feeds and speeds, and tap the taper loose with a crescent wrench. :-0

Thanks for sharing the entire set up process Keith.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Enjoyed.

Great "use" instructional on gear cutting. Thanks for the look.

Nice work Keith...

Very interesting process, Thanks Keith.

Hi Keith! I love watching you cut Gear Teeth! A lot of work goes into that job and it turns out great ! Hoping that you had a awesome Easter!

i love the set up and the brain power to know to make it two sided to make you one side work out. great work!!! thanks for sharing!!! hope your feeling better.

Learned something again! Thanks Keith!

Great work kieth. I'd say even your spacers where pretty true. Cool solution with the wires and cutting two side's. Seeing a process come together like that and the workpiece indicators real time. Priceless

This should be part of your highlight reel. I learned a lot. I think the part was an excellent exemplar for teaching. Plus GEARS! Thumbs way up. Thanks for sharing.

Morning Keith. What a way to start the week with a video from Keith.

My son always carried a crescent whammer in his tool box.

You do an excellent job explaining what you're going to do and why. I used to run one of those machines making airplane parts at McDonnell Aircraft in 1958. We built Phantom airplane. Always enjoy your videos. From Missouri.

Fun stuff to watch! Thanks!

Gonna start callin you "GearMan." Great gear cutting video as always, Keith!!

If there is one thing you will learn from Brother Keith is how to properly set up an arbor in a horizontal milling machine. And you will fully understand why you tighten the nut without the over arm supports in place. Love it!

Cutter dia measures 1.75" an then you say 1.25" when using your slide rule to workout your surface speed, 😬lol👍.. Great video keith, as always, thanks. 🇬🇧

Wish we lived much closer, would enjoy being able to help out from time to time.

Nice Bart Simpson badges you made.

very interesting, thank you

3:18 Man walks up to the toolroom: "I need a wrench." Toolroom guy: "What kind of wrench? Man: "It doesn't matter. I'm just going to use it for a hammer anyway."

Good stuff

Every tool is a hammer,I once heard somebody saying...:)

Happy Easter all

Good morning Keith

I don't know why, but for some reason this was more interesting than gear cutting videos usually are. Perhaps it's because the work piece isn't completely circular so there's some extra thought involved.

Thanks for the great video s ..

Another great video Keith. Just an aside. Who on earth presses the "thumbs down" on all these videos?

G'day Keith. That's a lovely big dividing you head you have mate. Makes the one I just bought look like a dwarf. After watching this video I'm too embarrassed to show mine now 🤣. Cheers from Downunder, Aaron

Hey Keith. I have been around machine tools for 40yrs. And your going to laugh. My friend, my name is Keith Monarch from Michigan. Worked in the automotive industry...

5:12 Err, Keith.....you've for gotten something !

very nice, one of my pet hates is cutting gears

hey keith as you say its of no concern and its effects are minimal but after looking more than once and on more than one video over the years ive come to the conclusion its your arbor thats bent ...i think you had 1 splitting saw that wasnt on center to its bore but i havent seen that one in years now ;] . thanks for the videos

Regarding arbor/cutter run out- at least your machine has auto feed! My Nichols mill has a hand lever for feeding, so you get a real feel for how it's cutting, and even if the cutter was aligned perfectly, you'd still get slight scalloping on the bottom of the cuts.

You have forced me to redefine the nickname Gearhead, Keith. I sure do enjoy your videos.

Hiya Keith

Keith, since you’re making parts for the 10 EE, maybe give us a quick look at yours and the condition it’s in?

So I don't know how critical those 2 holes will be to the gear position, but if they are, then your not aligning all the blanks, may come back to bite you. Let's hope not. Stacking is so efficient, it also means less deburring of sharp edges.

Nice!!

Great work as usual. Do you have a table showing the over the wire measurements or a formula to calculate that?

When he ganged the workpieces he didn't line them all up.

GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, TELL THE CATS & DOGS TO BE GOOD & HI [ BACK TO WORK ]...

12:00 I'd asked Abom79 for an explanation of the support adjustment so this is a great bit of info for me. My observation though is that when you put the arbor support over the bearing, it slid on easy and you didn't spot any tightness at that time - so it seems a bit off that it's started to run tight/hot now. Of course, if this support was well engineered, the bearing should be of a material that thermally expands more than the journal thereby as it warms up, it becomes less tight and is therefore a self-adjusting bearing !

Don Keith Rucker.. thats more than 100 mm/min in table feed. It's quite a lot with that little cutter. You my man .. keep rolling 1 of those Yankees needs to be * with 25.4mm rit ? to get into SI unit MM rit?

When I was a apprentice my Boss (owner) would have a fit if you layer your tools on the table or ways

I have been watching Keith and noticed so difference in the width of some of the blanks you have in your jig. Does this change anything when the blanks are machined in any way? Just wondering because I'm learning every video you produce and try to steer clear of the new fangled multitasked machines of today.

One of your blanks slipped during the turning operation.

It looked like on the original there was a space on the out side then a tooth but your new ones all have a tooth on the out sides could that cause a interference issue on the machine you might like to check that now before sending them off

Does it matter that the pieces are not stacked smoothly on the sides?

Early Arbor Day!

A guy who will use an adjustable wrench for a hammer is my kinda people!

I noriced that the blank next to the full width blank was rotated a few degrees away from ther others. Does that matter?

15:02 demonstrating one uses of the Craftsman 4 in 1 tool: Hammer, Pry bar, Chisel, and Screwdriver.

Would a gear tooth vernier caliper have worked instead of having to go around to do the 180 teeth? I don't recall if you have one.

Just looks like the work pcs isn't perpendicular when u wur finding the centre, but might be the angle of the camera

I like your adjustable wrench “hammer”!!

I know the back radius is just a cast surface. But could you rough cut it and then mill it using the dividing head?

On the back side gear, it seems to me that all you really needed to cut was one gear gap/space. You only needed one for the pin.

I was just curious, since this goes in an electronic component, is there no issue with how the teeth are indexed on the piece? I would have thought that the 2 indexing holes would need to be aligned with the proper indexing of the teeth? Just curious. Thanks for sharing, enjoying you make these...

I love you keeth

How is the chuck mounted to the dividing head? I have a Van Norman dividing head that has a number 50 taper in the spindle and I'm not sure how a church would be mounted to it.

The new parts do not have the teeth timed the same as the old part. Looks like there is a few degrees difference. Will this be an issue during use.

Nice video :) How did you work out how many teeth were needed for the whole diameter?

Is there any disadvantage to using a slower and lighter cut than recommended in this sort of thing, other than the obvious taking a bit more time?

I love to watch a real pro.

Is it just me being fooled by the spacer stacking or is there a slight wobble in the bar with the cutting head on it? Pretty sure I can hear it in the cutting as well.

When you took the plate off your dividing head, you did not wipe off the inside surface before you put the new plate on. It would seem that that area would have more dust and grit because of the holes and might throw the alignment off on the new plate. Great video, love to watch you work.

Hi Keith, Just wondering why you cut the teeth on both side's of the long bit of stock? Great video and narration as always Thanks Rodney

Your title has a typo. "Horizonal Mill" should read "HorizonTal Mill". Also- the thumbnail is even worse. Ooops! Great to see the finished part. Raphael (Spelling police UK)

i checked the site you recommended and nothing comes up when I type in the lathe description,

wow! first in line early bird and all that going to be a good day ok now I'll go watch the video

The second piece closest to the cutter is out of line with the rest, won’t that make the teeth in that piece off?

Would you happen to have an operators manual for a cincinnati 15 tray top lathe that i can download?

Kieth buddy, why don't you clean that dividing head and paint it looks ugly... just kidding works great, really enjoy watching your stuff.

"Electronic lead screw reversal mechanism" on this early Monarch?

Great job as always Keith. I have to say my OCD was acting up from the time you clamped those pieces on the arbor. I expect it doesn't matter but the misalignment of the pieces makes me wonder. :)

Notice the parts aren't aligned?

I have a k&t 2 h plain. what is the difference between the 3?

Hi Keith, at 10:45 you say you are finding the high spot on the part. If they are on a radius wont they all be the same height regardless of the rotation or am I missing something ?

Keith, for christ sake, the french wrench turned to soft mallet to pull out the arbour?

Looks like the parts being cut were not lined up?

every tool is a hammer, unless it is a screwdriver, then its also a chisel.

Whilst being no sort of engineer, my instinct would've been to make the initial cut in the centre of the arc to avoid a thin edge at the outside edge - the more knowledgeable folks may know it'd make no difference in this application?

Anyone who uses machines like urs will know there is going to be some run out & those that expect it to be perfect need to go back to school no machine of any age will cut to the exact dia within 1 or 2 thou not happening 👍

0:20 He said 'electronic'. How old's the lathe ??

Looks Good To Me Machines Not Perfect

I can't get past the fact that his K & T H-mill is labeled "Milwaukee." Ron W4BIN

It's much easier and faster with a 4th axis

1. I am soooo drunk because we play a game where we have to take a shot every time you say "agin" or "basically". This one nearly killed us! 2. That the stack of parts didn't line up each to the other nearly drove us mad! Probably not critical, but the offset was obvious and pretty big. 3. The fast forward and skip to the end editing could be much more conservative (shorter sequences) but thank you for them anyway.

I don't think it was the best of practice to tap out the arbour taper when the draw bar was totally unthreaded. That can damage the last female thread inside the arbour tooling and/or the last male thread on the drawbar.

18:45 When you can't remember the cutter diameter for 10 seconds.

Keith, I have heard you say a couple of times that the part is for a 10EE, but you are not sure exactly where it goes. Does timing of the teeth relative to the two locating holes matter? I would have thought so if they needed the two locating holes. I noticed in the turning video that the second block back from the mandrel nut was rotated somewhat relative to the third block, and continues to be so this time around, and also that there was no real attempt to clock the blanks to match the original while cutting teeth. You may need to consider this when setting up to drill the two locating holes, rather than just set them up relative to the sides of the block and the mandrel hole. Just wondering?

I just sacked you. No one in my workshop uses an adjustable spanner as a hammer ! The oil sight glass looked empty. Do you think that might have contributed to the squeak ?

That gear cutting attachment is looking a bit rough, with grime, questionable paint job, and surface rust on it. Put you helper minion on sprucing it up a bit, so it looks right in front of the cameras.

An interesting comment was made by a viewer on another creators site about dragging out the content. @15.28 Keith has not yet cut one tooth, he has spent all that time removing the setup from a previous job and setting up the mill and the dividing head to cut the teeth. Why wasn't the setup done before the camera was switched on? How many of us have keith's model of K&T mill, or the same dividing head. Maybe a 1 hour video soup to nuts, complete would be better than dragging out the process in video after video. Notice if you will content creators with millions of subscribers, often the videos come out once a month, they are scripted, rehearsed and shot, then released in 4k. Go look at slowmoguys, 4k for years. Videos released once a month, or smarter every day, Mark Rober. We put in the time watching the content and the ads, good camera equipment isn't expensive, shit my phone can shoot 4k as I am sure Keith's iPhone can as well.
