Gear Cutting in Theory and Practice (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Gear Cutting in Theory and Practice

The growth of automobile practice and the developments of the all-geared machine tools have brought the high carbon steels and the alloy steels to the front. These and the necessity for hardening of the gears have had a far-reaching influence on the methods not only of the gear cutter, but also on the whole sequence of the production of gears from the selection of the materials to the final testing. A condensed account has been given of these details.

As it is not possible to understand the method of operation of a machine from photographs alone, examples of all the great types of gear-cutting machines are illustrated by detailed drawings. In some instances also full examples are given of the sizing and cutting of gears from shop Operation sheets, in association with the machines 'to which they have reference. It is hoped that these drawings and examples will prove of special value to the men in the machine shop.

The large number of illustrations - all specially prepared for the work - will be helpful to the student.
