I pulled my old gear cutter out of storage to build a new gear for a piece of equipment. it running great for a 100 year old piece of equipment. I'm still struggling with how to find the center of the blank and the center of the cutter easily. I know it can be done with squares, math, and time that's how we are doing it, but its too easy to mess up and Im still not sure if centered. anyway I pre cut to depth with a slotted cutter and am now going to change over to a form cutter. dont know if thats the right way to do it but my last gear sure seamed to hammer its way through very rough on everything. some reason Im suddenly having issues posting pictures here
