  • I cant print. am using chrome? any help? i press print, the print page comes up, i press ok and then nothing happens

  • Try a different browser.

  • for over a year now ive been trying to find out, "what's the least amount of teeth a gear can have and still run smoothly?"

    so is it 5 teeth or what?

  • It depends on a lot of factors. With pinwheel gearing, you can get a way with 3. Smooth running involute gears its more like 6 or 7, but real machines never go below 14. Though helical gears in power tools also often go below 14

  • That's got to be just about the cleverest means of eval protection I've ever seen.

  • Exactly. With the program resizable and big monitors, it wasn't enough to restrict printing because people could just take screenshots to get the shape out :)

    If you don't want to buy it, you can always use my free online gear template genrator, but that one isn't quite as powerful.

  • I have to have this! 

  • @Matthiaswandel any free student versions of it? =)

  • So why do you not have a CNC router yet (or do you?) I can only imagine the gears, and therefore the contraptions, you would create with a CNC router.

  • i see it's made in visual basic so it's purly good i still dont know how to that with vb but i've try a lots of codes so i can generate them but not make them moven and also not make them actualisates the parameters automaticaly

  • This is a very fun program. I'm not a wood worker at all but it is fun looking at the gears. Well done.

  • Draw your own gears with Autocad with my procedure:

    You just gotta have some practice and patience. Youtube search: Autocad Gear procedure for internal and external gears

    . While you are there consider learning to draw Std. Chain sprockets using Cad too.

  • Your free gear template program can also make ring gears ! Just write in the number of teeth in - for example -18 teeth

  • on the example set og gears what was the tooth spacing ??mm
