Thanks. Didn't mean for that to convey as an advert. Just illustrating that the concerns were of little import, for us. One of our most recent accomplishments that I am VERY proud of is the ability to make our own gear cutting tooling.

I (we) haven't received this as a attempt to advertise and I did understood the point you were making i.e. "where you are coming from, and not being your first rodeo". I also meant what I said when I've mentioned that I am regularly on the look-up for gears, having sent quite a few drawings to several mfg in the past and likely to do it again. Both to our N.A. and Asian continents. Out of curiosity, what is your tolerance/grade capabilities? I think my real question is more what DIN (or other standard(s)) are you manufacturing for.

Glad to hear you know what you are doing and all set to get your tilt project going! Warned on the PP because someone I know built his 5ax with a custom/odd swivel base... took quite a lot of code and logic to get that tooltip to translate, dpm & frn feedrates, etc. He was happy at the end but not so much on the cost of that PP dev

That's really dependent upon type and process. Having said that, we are can make Master Gears ( and have ) and are AGMA 10 routinely capable. 99% of the time most people do not actually require that, though. We do a fair amount of DOD work and I would have to imagine that a fair amount of those are in vehicles. We also do some repeating work from Toyota and Mitsubishi. The rest is Industrial and Surgical, with regard to gears. The regular machining is another story altogether.

I'll send you a pair of spur drawing with a DIN3972 profile during late autumn, we'll pay for the sample ;-) Need to see your work!

Thanks for the info and contact.

I guess I would just disassemble the RT and look to see if what you want to do would work. It seems that you have the skills to do what you want to accomplish. As far as leaking oil, thread sealers are available to prevent that.

Happy to help. Speak with you then. Thanks.

Sure will.

All the best to you and your business. Tk soon I hope.
