Preparing For Gear Cutting on Aciera F1 Precision Mill

This video shows part of the preparation for gear cutting on an Aciera F1 small precision benchtop milling machine. This includes changing over to lever feed and aligning the dividing head by clocking in with a dial test indicator. The gear cutting itself will be done in a later video. In this instance it is horological, or clockmaking wheel cutting, of a ratchet wheel.
