After looking for a vertical mill for a while I landed a Rockwell
about the third project I tried was a gear. Here it is .

Congrats!!

Nice mill. I certainly like mine.

Oh, yeah. Good job on the gear, too!

First time I've seen what looks like a right-hand Brown&Sharpe style head. Oh, and yes yes, nice gear.

Try a bevel. Same cutter, but the head sits on the table at 45 degrees. Some easy directions in this book. Drop down the "contents" menu and pick page 68:

Looking at the picture full size now. Whoops, never mind.

Nice job

Fun stuff! What is it for?

Hi Tom 
The Gear was built only to prove to myself I could do it.
It had no other purpose. It was a the first one and I was thrilled with the outcome of it.

Nice job. I think it needs a friend though.

I will build another soon .
Moving the shop now.
