I don't think it’s so bad that the footage is ruined. You can find Fusion360 files for some of the gears shown, and the shaft drilling jig here: https://creonovae-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/antal_creonova_nl/Eg8cLtFZmNBMu80_jSncKeMBdZ3aQLG3IssJ9WpYOaJJlw?e=gz7Wez I have made extensive use of these two references, which you can also consult if you don’t have the time to wait for my upcoming uploads: https://khkgears.net/new/gear_knowledge/gear_technical_reference/ https://qtcgears.com/tools/catalogs/PDF_Q420/Tech.pdf If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please leave those down below.
