Roger Pellett Posted October 24, 2021 Share #604 Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks Valerie, The project that I am working on will require a lot of gears. I just bought a pair of knurling cutters on eBay. Now I need to build a fixture to hold them.

wefalck Posted October 24, 2021 Share #605 Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) This kind of holder to fit into the toolpost can be bought at reasonable prices: For light knurling in brass a simple holder to feed straight into the part may be sufficient. Be aware, that knurling forms sort of triangular ridges - gear teeth look somewhat different, with sort of vertical flanges and a space at the bottom between the teeth.

Please note that with the help of rolling knives, you can only create an imitation of a gear. Real working gears must be manufactured using a different technology.

Roger Pellett Posted October 24, 2021 Share #610 Posted October 24, 2021 Valeriy, They will just be imitation gears- deck winches, cargo winches, and gears for turning vowel ventilators. That guy’s fixture is really clever. I have a large heavy gauge aluminum angle. I’m going to use it to make a knurling fixture that mounts on the cross slide of my lathe; similar to the one shown in the Sherline catalog. dj.bobo, FriedClams, popeye the sailor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted December 7, 2021 Share #622 Posted December 7, 2021 Did they really had 'inlaid' (as it was called) linoleum on Russian ships at that time, rather than the sober 'battleship' linoleum (which was also thicker as the domestic one), that usually comes in a dark reddish brown ?

Dr PR Posted December 7, 2021 Share #625 Posted December 7, 2021 It is interesting that the binnacle was tied down with turnbuckles. This is a carryover from sailing ship days when the compass/binnacle was "portable" and normally tied down to eye bolts in the deck with lanyards. lmagna, Valeriy V, FriedClams and 3 others 6 Quote Phil Current build: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/19611-albatros-by-dr-pr-mantua-scale-140-about-1815/&tab=comments#comment-601276 Previous build: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/19321-uss-oklahoma-city-clg-5-1971-3d-cad-model/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
