Thanks Art, that clears things up on that calculati
on.
So I am running Gearotic and have circular gears selected and it is displayin
g a pinion and wheel. I changed the DP to 25.4
and module is showing 1 now.
My next question relates to number of teeth and cutter # (1 thru

for this Module 1 set of cutters. I changed the pinion
to 10 teeth and the wheel to 30 teeth but cutter number 8 shows 12 to 13 teeth, there is no cutter for 10 teeth unless I make my own
but didn't want to do that right now. So I am limited to make the pinion to 12 teeth or more because of the available cutter number?
I see under the tools tab a print button, will that print out all the gear parameter
s for the pinion and wheel only? If I want to create
the G-code I would click on the 4th axis button to generate the code using the A axis with a rotary head?
Sorry for the DA questions but I have never made a gear before ( your software did help me make a sprocket a couple of years ago.) and
this is something I have wanted to do for a long time now.
Oh and I see one could spend a fortune on cutters given there are 8 for every DP or Module!
