Model differential
« on: April 26, 2021, 10:39:12 AM »
I've completed the parts for a differential for a 1/12 scale gearbox I'm making.



Here it is assembled next to a penny.



The central pin will be cut down so it's flush with the cage and slotted for a screwdriver. This is the first time I have been able to test the bevel gears I made for this and I'm very happy. Everything meshes smoothly.

Excellent - that’s a very fine collection of parts. Looks like you accidentally posted the same pic twice - the assembly doesn’t show.

Forging ahead regardless.

Very neat, very tidy, very impressive! If that's going into a gearbox, what's the gearbox going into?

The gears are Mod 0.3 and the gearbox is a Hewland FG400 to mate with a Ford Cosworth DFV V8.

That's the kind of thing I've been wanting to make for years. Maybe I'll have the skills one day.

Nice job!  :NotWorthy:

Funnily enough, gear cutting with the right cutters and a dividing head is not difficult. It gets interesting when you don't have the right kit and you have to grind up a single point cutter which matches the mating gear...
