I would like to cut approximately 50 each of the following gears: 12mm w 12 teeth, 20mm w 20 teeth, 30mm w 30 teeth and 40mm w 40 teeth. All will be 5mm thick, made of brass. Each size will need to mesh with all others. Picture attached is an example in plastic.
I have a mill and dividing head and general knowledge of how to do this. However, I could use assistance with 2 questions. 1) should I cut each gear individually at the final thickness or cut a wide gear, then cut each one to size? 2) what gear cutter or cutters do I need to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!
