    Calculating gear tooth profile for 8-tooth pinion and 60-tooth spur gear

    Well I've figured it out. So for anyone else trying to draw odd gears here it is. And it's rather simple... The Movement of the Pinion Tooth Around the Main Gear is this: 360 / Nm = Tm (Nm=Number of Teeth on Main Gear, Tm=Angle Between Teeth on Main Gear) Tm / X = M (X=Increment Factor...

    Calculating gear tooth profile for 8-tooth pinion and 60-tooth spur gear

    Awesome mfb, thanks for that. I emailed the developer, hopefully something will come of it.

    Calculating gear tooth profile for 8-tooth pinion and 60-tooth spur gear

    This may be simple to some, but this is my first experience with designing gears, so bear with me... I'm trying to "cut" a spur gear to match the profile of the pinion gear I designed. This gear won't carry any load, it's basically for esthetics, but I want good contact between the two...
