You can buy gears off the shelf, of course, and get accurately machined parts exactly to your chosen specification. However, there’s something rugged and individualist about producing your own ...

Lasercutters are fantastic tools: they’re highly useful for making flat things, or even flat things that you later bend! This makes them particularly well suited for making gears out of flat stock.

The teeth of teeth of involute gears hobs and teeth for involute spline shaft hobs have a trapezoidal profile. In the U.S. a huge volume of good quality hobs are produced, and offers potential for ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.

Gears fill the cases of automotive transmissions and are widely used in aerospace applications, but these simple tools are deceptively complex to manufacture. We thought it would be good to take a ...

Mazak’s Integrex e-1250V/8 AG incorporates the Auto Gear package, thus combining gear processing with full 5-axis machining, and heavy-duty turning operations, plus pallet-changing capabilities for ...
