    So, what’s left to move the small gear?
    A mythical hidden (not seen in any pictures) key way?
    I guess the thing moves by telekinesis.

    But, I still think it’s a neat machine. Durability - - Who...

    I still vote for a slightly oval shaft - mated to the same oval hole in the gear. The disks would have a larger round hole that would allow the shaft to rotate in the disks. A slight oval shaft...

    The pinion gear must be cammed, or would be always fully engaged in the rack.

    I believe it IS always fully engaged. The small gear doesn’t move, except to rotate. The rack only slides side to...

    An oval shaft in an oval hole wouldn't provide any more contra-rotation than a sprag clutch.

    Seems to me that oval in oval has equal torque in either direction — But, a roller clutch is no doubt...

    Only one problem: The more I think about it a one-way roller clutch can tighten but will not be able to loosen the wedged rack. So we are back to an oval shaft in an oval hole that can transmit...

    Looks like a sprag clutch has essentially an oval shaft.

    I admit I don’t know how the socket handle that I noted works. I suspect that it too has an oval center drive portion and similar to your...

    George,

    I agree! But, that’s really what I’ve been saying all along. The small gear doesn’t “move” except to rotate. Now, what makes it rotate? You say a keyway. That’s surely possible but the...

    Roller Drive?

    George,

    The rack is engaged by the small gear and moved sideways. The issue is how does the shaft move the small gear?

    I mentioned a roller bearing assembly before. Strange, but I ran into what...

    George,

    Follow the energy. First the shaft has to transmit rotational energy to the small gear.

    It has to be an oval shaft or a hidden keyway. One other possibility, which I doubt, is a...

    Neat machine!
    I’ll have to buy one.

    How it works - my take.
    In order to turn the small gear the shaft has to have a keyway (doubt this - old approach) or is machined slightly oval. Since the...

    Waxing a Back Saw

    I wonder how many of you wax a back saw prior to use. Specifically, before cutting dovetails or tenons. I have found that my freshly sharpened old Disston (without set) works so much better if I wax...

    So, if I can understand, the central block of the plane is quarter-sawn (sraight grain all sides) and the side slabs are decorative - obviously not quarter-sawn.
