Interesting.I've been wanting to try a similar method using the CNC with 4th axis. The method would use a trapezoidal rack form cutter like the one we've seen Chris use recently on the Marion 91 project. I'm thinking to use an off-the-shelf #1 involute cutter (135 teeth to rack).It should be possible to cut any gear in a given pitch with just the rack cutter for that pitch.--Tim
That is interesting Chuck. I have no intention of going cnc, but it certainly is interesting to see what it can do. Hope you are feeling well.--Brian
[... I should think you would want a pretty small pitch size to accommodate smaller gears... Chuck
