Hi everyone,
I looked on the innernet, to find out about making gears, a lotof info, out there, but I'm not grasping the main concepts, yet,
Could someone please explain in detail, what formulas and procedures do you use to make a gear.
To make a gear from a blank, with a specified number of teeth, do you have to know diametral pitch and things, or just divide the circumfrence by the tooth number.
Just for example, if you were to make a gear with 40 teeth on a blank that is 2" diameter, is it as simple as dividing the teeth into the circumference, or what procedure from start to finish would you do to accomplish this.
Excluding the actual machining, with a hob, or gear cutter.
Thankyou...
PS.
I'm not making gears yet, but always wondered about the formulas involved.
