It’s been a busy week in the shop—turned out two more gear blanks on the South Bend lathe, then cut the spiral/helical gear teeth using the Cincinnati horizontal mill with a leads attachment and dividing head. Still amazed every time I run this setup—the process never gets old. Had to share! #metalwork #ManualMachinist #GearCutting #SpiralGear #HelicalGear
