With this simple device, you can install gears as accurately as possible in various makeshift gearboxes. This fixture is useful to masters Kulibin, who are engaged in the manufacture of various homemade products using gears.
The main problem in the manufacture and assembly of such products and mechanisms is to precisely set the distance between the axes of the gears. The coordinated operation of the gearbox, and the entire mechanism as a whole, directly depends on this.
You can make a homemade device for the precise installation of gears from pliers that have already "unwound" their service life (that is, to put it simply, one of the handles or even two has broken off).
The main stages of work
The most difficult part in making this device is to drill holes in the jaws. To do this, the metal must be released. If this is not done, then drilling will be quite problematic.
Moreover, even after tempering the metal, it is necessary to drill slowly, at low speeds (preferably on a drilling machine). In addition, it will be necessary to expand the notches in the jaws of the pliers to install the spring.
You also need to make a set of different adapter sleeves that are useful in the work. On this, in fact, the homemade product is ready, and you can test it.
Details on how to make a do-it-yourself device for the precise installation of gears are recommended to watch in the video on our website.
