My uncle tells me that I would have been a good machinist. He taught machine shop classes at a vo-tech school in Malvern, AR years ago. I do woodworking in my workshop and have developed a technique for making spur or helical gears using my tablesaw or scrollsaw. I use AGMA gear formulas to calculate various dimensions using number of teeth, diametral pitch, pressure angle, and helix angle for helical gears. Have a look at my web site to see a few videos I have made of the gears, and there is also a link where you can purchase the technique if you like. www.stevengarrison.com Thanks!
I have attached a picture of my most recently made gears, a pair of 45° left-hand helicals that are used on my shop-made wooden window blinds. These are 5 pitch with a 25° pressure angle.
