The attached indicates a gear which I will cut on 1/4" plywood. Have several similar gear of various size to do and what I don’t particular like on them is that the teeth and the interior of the gear are all on the same chain. I was thinking to modify the geometry and isolate the interior from the teeth. Is this a good/bad idea?
Do you use a contour path to cut gears?
And the interior I guess I should use a pocket path?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
