Gear maker
Spur, helical and herringbone gears with real involute teeth.
About the gear maker
Generate gears by module and tooth count with proper involute teeth. Choose spur, helical or herringbone, set the shaft hole, and read off the shaft spacing.
- Gears mesh only if they share the same module and pressure angle.
- Herringbone gears run quietly and stay centred on their own.
- Add a little play between teeth if printed gears bind.
