A customer requested a job with SMALL gear teeth milled around one end.
It's basically an 'L-shaped' lever, with a radius on the bottom right end.
The radius will have gear teeth milled around it, in order to make it rotate.
The radius is .375 (.750 wide leg).
The 'gear teeth' are involute, and would be 24 teeth if it were a full circle. I'll be milling 12 teeth around the end.
So where can I find a SMALL gear cutter?
I've looked online, and everything is 3" diameter or larger. BIG cutters.
I can't find a Woodruff style cutter with an involute gear profile.
HELP!! What to do??
