My rotary table needs a new wheel and this thead is more about how I made the cutter , I have been making involute cutters on my mill ,
The worm is 1\2" made from silver steel so the cutter needs to be 1\2" as well , the wheel measured to be 37DP 72 teeth 50.8mm blank required ,pin dia 9.452919mm the nearest to that is 3\8" and adjust the centres , a peice of silver steel milled to a hex then the 3\8" cutter feed in 2.475946mm :jaw: and the carridge locked the cut is made virticley

The pin centres are 10.16667mm and the in feed is 2.475946 acording to the computer program I downloaded from Marve Klots web site , gashed with a woodruff cutter just past centre to give the teeth some rake , hardened and tempred to straw , the worm eyeballed to 4 degrees so set the wheel to that , tooth depth is 1.51 fed it in and started cutting , the worm fitted well straight with no back lash and just one heigh spot that will polish out .

Thank Andrew thats a jaw dropper when you see it the first time , with the flex in my mill I may be closer to one decimal place . :coffee:
