Hi Kirk,
One of the main reasons I want to try to generate gears and,
particularly, pinions is the great problem I have in trying to make
working pinion cutters small enough for the watches I work on. I could
get cutters made but, as you have said, a different one is required for
each
We should talk one day, I work with Chris Lowe at Richards of Burton,
and have made a cnc to cut gears here, I still use a Safag for the
really small stuff though. I want to do profile work for escape
wheels, verge and normal.

Thanks for reply.
I am using steppers, so do I add my read and writes to the servo thread or the
base
thread?
My .hal file still has all the original configuration lines in, which I know
work... will
it run once I make these changes or is there still more to do?

Hello all,
Is Galesburg still floating? No, that's not a joke. I have a real concern and
hope all is well in Galesburg.
With all the rain and bad weather you have had, will there still be an EMC Fest
2008?
Thank you
Dale

The big problem making a cutter is all down to the size and the
difficulty in measuring and working to exact tiny dimensions. The 5-leaf
pinion I need to make at the moment has a flat in the bottom of the

I spoke to Roland a few hours ago and it was 75
degrees and clear. Forcast on weatherunderground shows afternoon

Another thought comes to mind, could wire EDM be used to cut very small
gears and pinions?

I know I've seen someone take a rotary tool similar to a Proxon (beefy
dremel type) and true out the spindle and cut his collets using EDM and they
were fairly small. So I don't see why doing
Idea is ok but Dremel stuff is in no way suitable for the scales that
Ian Wright or us need when cutting watch pinion sizes. The positional
accuracy needed to get a good form to the result is also a problem.
Involute form is easy as a hobbing action and generation is possible
but not for cycloidal

The step (and direction) pulses that steppers or step/direction servo
and stepper controllers use, need to be very fast,

I just used the Dremel term to describe a type of abrasive disk, because
most people are familiar with Dremel

you should be able to cut a master tool for the form required.
Then, that tool could cut the gear teeth directly, and reduce a
5 hour job to 15 minutes! Even if you only have a mill, you can
mount a disc on

You bet! For hair-thin wheels and intricate escapement
profiles, they are the way to go. Of course, wire EDM is a
whole other domain, and you can't buy a $500 Chinese wire

I wish I could claim credit for a fix to the libqt3c102-mt problem, but
I can only claim credit for remembering that one had to be worked out
when Skype was first released to the Debian community and caused the
same problem. It seems libqt3c102-mt has transitioned to libqt3-mt but
