Greg can you educate me on what what gear cutters are enough for most gear
cutting needs? Fusion 360 has a nice gear profile generator I can use.
But I'll have to model all the cutters after that I think... Thinking keep
them pretty simple with no helix angle or anything. And maybe plan to cut
most of it out with a endmill straight down the middle before putting the
gear cutter through the cut
Well, the traditional horizontal mill gear cutters usually
come in a set of 6 for each gear tooth pitch.
You use each cutter for a range of tooth counts for that
tooth pitch. And, there are 14.5 degree and 20 degree
pressure angles. So, there end up being a LOT of gear
cutters that one could possibly need.
