DMclean Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I seem to be unable to create a gear with more than 100 teeth using the Gear Tool. No matter what Parameters I use it seems to max out at this. Is this normal behaviour for the tool? Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yes, the max number of teeth is limited to 100. These sites allow you to create and export aligned pairs of gears: Costs $2.00 for a day's worth of downloads: https://geargenerator.com/#300,300,100,6,0,0,0,2,1,20,3.3333333333333335,6,20,-90,0,0,0,0,0,0,66,11,6,20,-90,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,798 Images only but also offers a $28 Windows based software: https://woodgears.ca/gear_cutting/template.html The one I use is: http://www.hessmer.org/gears/InvoluteSpurGearBuilder.html It offers Free downloads as .SVG which can be imported into Adobe Illustrator and then exported to FZ. Imports are polygonal so I usually rebuild one tooth as nurbs and copy rotate for creating smooth solids which are then exported as .stp for CNC.
