I think the answer depends on if you are a job-shop accepting any and all orders from customers or if you are building parts of your own design. If you are designing your own parts you can standardize on just a few gear sizes, perhaps modulo 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 are enough for any machine you'd ever design and build. Then for each size you need a full set of cutters and an arbor to mount the cutters You can find a full set of 8 for one size for about $100 more or less. You can even find them on Amazon. Search for "involute cutter". Here is an example .amazon.com/8PCS-Milling-Gear-Cutters-HSS <https://www.amazon.com/8PCS-Milling-Gear-Cutters-HSS/dp/B07VFSQVJ5/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=involute+gear+cutter&qid=1595608530&sr=8-9> But to buy every size cutter you might ever need in US and Metric size would be quite an investment but buying just a few and then limiting you designs to just those sizes in not bad. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
