I have decided to go with what I have on hand , which is a
couple of 12v
wiper motors and one HF 18v drill motor . I just ordered another
gear cutter , I'll be able to do stacked reduction gears in a
fairly small package now . These will be 20dp gears , the same
as those inside the QC box on my lathe . Should be robust enough
for this .
With PWM motor speed control plus direction control , I can
set one
reduction ratio that will be a compromise - mostly on high speed
end - that gives a uniform speed for a decent finish . Which is
a lot of what this is about . I just can't crank precisely
enough to do some of the things this mill is otherwise capable
of . Using the boring head or face mill are perfect examples . A
uniform finish is dependent on uniform feed rates . --

Did you have a look at the link I posted ?

I'm registered in enough forums , is there a link that doesn't
make me do
that ? I've gotten fairly good at cutting gears , I can a lot of
reduction in a prett small space by copying Logan Lathe's stacked
reduction gears like they used in the left side og their QC
gearboxes .

Is your mail ad ok ?


Yup , it's a spam trap but it's good . I check it usually every week
or so . If I know something is coming , I'll check it more often .
