Relieving tool for gear cutters

[Bernard ByersParticipant @bernardbyers10762]

Hi I have posted a picture in the album of a gear cutter relieving tool I started to make about 40 years ago, just found it and would like to finish it but can't remember which model engineer I got it from. or author Do any members remember the article could have been from about 1950 upward. also thanks to the members that answer my photo query.

Tool for releiving gear cutters

[dcostaParticipant @dcosta]

Hello Bernie.

Using the **ME_Indexes** application with criteria “reliev” I find the following articles plus some more having nothing to do with gear cutters.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Hi Bernard,

Is it the 'Euereka'? if so I have a set of drawings which I would be prepared to share, just send a private message,

Best regards

Terry

P.S. Just noticed your picture and it's not the Eureka, so ignore this post. Sorry,

Terry

Hi Bernard,

If I'm not mistaken this looks a lot like the attachment described by 'Duplex' in an article in ME Vol 100, Issue 2508, part of his series on "Gear Cutting in the Lathe".

Best regards,

Vijay

Hello Vijay,

Thanks for your efforts finding the releiving tool article, I am thrilled to think I can now finish it after all these years. I gave my Model Engineer Mags to the local club for their libary some dating back to the 1800 so I have to wait for my friend to come home on Monday to get the arrticles, he has all the back numbers. I am still active in making things Iam 87 this year finished a cnc router last year so I could make up some woodenclocks, now I have the hankering to build a metal one hence the renewed intered in the releiving tool, sorry for delay in getting back to you . I am away a few days aweek this time of the year.. Thanks agian. I will drop you a line after I have read up the articles. All the best
