Looking at recent posts about gears, has made me wonder about the info on making / measuring them.
I have worked places many years ago that would make an occasional ( simple) gear or cut a spline.
They usually had the cutter and mandrel for it because it was a repeat job.
I would like to know how to check the pressure angle, flank, etc.
There are some examples in the Machinery Handbook, but a layman's terms book would be appreciated.
Nothing fancy, helical, beveled , etc.
Can anyone direct me to a book that tells how to select a cutter, diametral pitch, etc.
In the the past they just said " Here, we always used this. Joe figured it out and it works".
Thanks for any info or leads.
