This video is very information-dense. I apologize, but: nature of the beast.

However! Astound your friends with how much you'll know about gears!
Amazing before-seen footage of Indexing, dividing, and gear cutting!
Stop making due with plain text video descriptions: Watch for yourself!

More than you wanted to know about gears: 0:00-10:50
Gear Cutters: 10:50
Indexing & Dividing: 14:18
Dividing Head: 19:43
Actually cutting a gear: 24:42
Metal gears in the mini-lathe: 26:28

  • My 15 year old son watches you all the time. "Quit watching Old Tony" said no parent ever.
  • @kirkc9643
    Could you please explain the part about gears again
  • @locked01
    I'm Italian and I do appreciate not only your humour but also the way you make a person like me, a complete stranger to any concept even vaguely related to metal working, intrigued enough by the topic, to the point that now I'm thinking to buy a small lathe and start working with it! You're great! Thank you!

    "If you had to rewind to hear that again you should stop this video right now" Why you gotta personally attack my low attention in introductions bro
  • So, how do I go about nominating you for teacher of the year? I'm serious. After 4 years of college (one of which in a physics/engineering masters curriculum) and three years in grad school, I'm hard pressed to think of one professor who could do as well as you do breaking these concepts down into easily digestible tidbits. Thanks for all your hard work on these! Most of us really appreciate it! Except my wife. Keeps reminding me of everything around the house that needs to be fixed while I'm watching your videos.

    I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
  • I doubt you come back here to check out old used comments like this, but I digress... I like to watch this video every few months to get geared up for using a dividing head. I still haven’t professionally used one yet but every few months I get ready! I appreciate you ToT.
  • @johngillon6969
    45 years as a machinist. have always enjoyed when i got to build a gear, i learned allot in the video. thanks dude. you're never too old to learn.
  • @davydmir6565
    I can only imagine you at parties... door bell rings Oh Hi T-dawg! So glade you could co..... why do you have a block of metal and some string? Also where are you pants?......

    After getting my teeth into this I'm a lot more cognisant. Now if only I was more driven.
  • @boelwerkr
    Fun fact: The Modul - System is directly copied from the DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm => German Industrial Norm) The Z means "Zähne" => teeth The DIN was developed to join together the German Production more tightly and make parts and tooling interchangeable. (why have BFS,UNF,UNC,NPT, BSP, JIS,SAE and what not bolts if you simply could use DIN-bolts) But also to make the German machine parts and tools useless to the enemies by making everything a little bit different. But the Prussians where to damn efficient. ;-) French and other started to copy the norms and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) was established. Many DI-Norms where directly copied to ISO.
  • @motopreserve
    Those are some fine looking shop-made gears my man!
  • @SoumilSahu
    why have I only come across this channel now? This is some of the highest quality content on YouTube period
  • @AJLaRocque54
    Tony, thank you so very much for the videos you make. Though I am laughing continuously throughout the videos I am also learning so much. You truly are a gift to the YouTube community.
  • @OperatorIHC
    "Everything You Wanted To Know About" <---- I think you dropped this.
  • @junkie842
    This old tony! I learnt something! All jokes aside Sir. I'm not even into any of this, but just watching this was very inspiring.
  • I've designed gears and drive systems in my day and this explanation is the most scienterrific way anyone could explain this topic. 😄 Great videos Old Tony!👍
