If anyone is interested, I am posting a link to a gear calculating g-code generator. It is NOT a dak engineering product (so please do not ask Dave for support) but it does work with turboCNC with no editing. Requires Excel, though at some point I hope to have a stand alone version.

Feel free to send me e-mail if there are any questions.

Thanks

ps - a key making aquaintance was fond of saying "Test Before You Trust" - a good policy to be sure - I would recommend testing any g-code before running on your machine.

pps - Thanks balsaman - Thanks Woodnack

Steve,

Good to see you here! Welcome!!!

Guys, this gear gcode maker works great.

Hey steve,
hows the machine running? what have you made? Looks good pal...

Hi guys- Thanks for the welcome!

I have taken a break from gears (a very short break I hope) to try to make a Mother's Day gift. LOL. I really like mechanical stuff, but as soon as I try to make something more Mom-like, it feels like a disaster. Oh well.

Next week, back to making fun stuff. And I feel the need- the need for speed. I think I can bump up the speed of SupaBrute. Seems the consensus is that 1/4" mdf can be cut in one pass at around 15ipm. That is faster than I am going now. I gotta pick up the pace!

To a good and productive weekend!

Regards,

Steve

This may work...
