I had the same basic thought of stacking the disks- (baltic birch plywood to be stable & teeth won't snap off as easy as solid wood) to make gears and using the Legacy indexing or expanded indexing plate to space the teeth and then cutting them all at the same time using a V type router bit.
For pulleys, I think the Legacy would be the perfect machine for making them .Peter -----Original Message----- From: Curtis <[email protected]> To: Legacy Ornamental Mills <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Nov 4, 2012 5:38 am Subject: Re: Gears, Pulleys etc. Bill You could use Mike's indexing concept, Set up a number of disks and cutt them in a row,as if you were roping a part. If you set the correct pitch,after seperating the gears, my guess would be that you would have a number of gears that all meshed together correctly. it might work? Good luck on this idea, and Please send pictures as soon as you can. As for myself, I will stick with pulleys, thay are easer to make and much less of a head ache to figure out. ;-) C.A.G.
