My First Laser Cut Gearotic Gears.

[Dan]

Hi Guys:

 Ill start a special thread, likely within a week or so to discuss the best ways to do this. Im not sure using rotary on the flat woudl help, seems to me if your going to cut flat, you can do so without a rotary table at all, rotary only makes sense if tilted a set amount, once aty zero degree's  the need for 4th axis goes away.. (I think..).

Yes, Art, but as I once mentioned in one of my previous posts here, with a rotary table you get better repeatability between tooth to tooth. Since in this case the cutter reproduces exactly the same movement for each tooth, they will all be identical.

BTW, like how the bevels look very much!!!
