2020-05-17 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all; It looks like I am going to have to dis this $600 piece of junk and take it to the car wash to clean out the manufacturing debris. Which brings up a need to re-lube it as I put it back together. It has oil ports, push the teeny ball types, but it seems like it really should be

There are two good tutorials on designing the gears. Both depend more on geometric construction than math. They first generate some points then fit a spine. I've read this is not-exact but the error can be as small as you like. Just make more points and the spline gets better. Going into the
