Default Wooden Gears

The propect of repetitively cutting individual teeth on wooden gears is too dreary a prospect for me to face! Can anyone think of a way to automate gear production?

Stack cut segments and glue up? 1/4 or 1/6 or even 1/8 the cutting, but your mistakes propogate around the clock

You can make a jig. that will have a centre pivot.
The jig should have a table that will slide in and out on the saw table.
The side of the jig could have indexing marks. Each notch would allow you to cut a tooth.
I have an article someone on a jig that uses a router to cut teeth if you are interested I will humt it down and send it to you. I am not using it anymore.

Great idea, Carl! A jig like that should work a treat on a bandsaw with a mitre track .

I'd still be interested in a copy of that article if it's not too much trouble, please.

Thanks

Gill

Smile Jig for making gears

Carl,
There was an article in Fine Woodworking that goes back several years that also talked about making gears with a router. Is that the one you're referring to? If not I'll send it to Gill so she will have more ideas to look at.
