I belief I said this before. This forum is not the place to air personal and health problems. I am sorry to hear about health and other conditions

That class stuff is already on indefinite hold.
Wife thinks she has Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and the
process of getting checked out for it has already left her
weak and needing major help. Got asked shortly after I woke
up to take a leave of absence from my class until this is
cleared up or confirmed. She's already said she
won't be doing chemo if it is the cancer. Looks like
I'll be doing work and Dr. stuff for a
while.

milling, just for fun

I've gotta get some sleep, but once I do,
I'm going back and downloading all the photos you've
sent to a folder of it's own for study. My weekend is
kinda jacked up, as my shift is changing slightly. I was
working four 10-hour days, 10pm to 8:30 am, for some months,
then they changed it to four 9-hour days, 9pm-6:30am and a
4-hour half-day , 8pm-12am, on Fridays, but that ended
yesterday. Tomorrow, we go to five 8-hour days, 10pm-6:30am.
And another dollar an hour for a shift differential. Like
everything, change is hard, but I'll get used to it.
Though I loved the 3-day weekends, and loved the 2.5-day
weekends only a little less. I'll be happy with a little
more pay, and only a two-day weekend like everyone else.
This may make finishing my class easier, too. I've got a
dozen or so projects left for the class, and then a brush-up
so I can take some of the NIMS certification tests. The
school will now pay for as many of them as you want to take.
So I might go for everything I think I can pass in the
manual machining certifications. I've never worried
about certifications before, but I had a really hard time
finding a job after my last career fizzled. Might be good to
have something that's newer than 20 years old and
possibly relevant to current requirements. ;)

Bill,?Look
where all the gears used to be feeding the gearbox, took
"em all off and put the chain/sprocket stuff on. Way
cheaper than new gears for kind of a 4 off part! Worked
perfect too.I made the milling attachment using a
spindle from an old Clausing mill on a custom mount attached
to the compound so I could swing it at the required angle,
radius at the root was ball endmill.?Once you get
past a little thinking about how to do this it's
fun!DaveOn January 12,

Saw the gear motor, and recognized
it. Didn't see the chain drive. Was looking at some
files I recovered off an older computer drive, for cutting
gears on a shaper, with a wire wrapped around a pitch-circle
wheel to match the gear being cut. The shaper has a
rack-tooth shaped cutter. Sort of got that, but I think
while it's similar, yours is more complicated. I make my
living fixing machines, so it is neat to learn new
stuff!
Thanks!

Hope I can find
the pics of part of my never ending project from a few years
ago.
Needed to cut 1" pitch on a
4" diameter part 24" long. Here's the kicker,
2" root diameter. Don't remember the angle or
radius at the root but you get a sense of the process.
Single point was NG, milling was the only
option. 2 pcs. 303 SS and 2 pcs. Delrin. 1 each left hand
and right hand.
Not regular screw threads.
Feed screws for pleated filter media to glue the ribbons on.

I love a little challenge once in awhile.
