Fascinating process and result, Rick! It was definitely fun to work with you on this and I can't wait to see the finished project. I like your innovative thinking and execution of your ideas.

For those of you using Vectric products, they have a "Gadget" that you can download to make gears. I haven't had any use for gears yet, but it seems to work pretty simply.

Fusion 360 has a script to run for generating the gears, given necessary parameters. From there, within Fusion 360, gears are available for adding features, such as spokes and holes, the latter in my case for pinning the gears to the pegboard.

I am unfamiliar with Vectric products. Once the Gadget generates the gears, is there a CAD module that lets you modify/add features? I would assume so, but...

Rick,
Vectric has a host of 'CAD like' options that you could incorporate into the gears. Here is a very simple example, but you could draw vectors and pocket or cut them out too.

Does VCarve Pro have that gadget or do you have to step up to Aspire to get it, Dave?

I may go for these gear plans, they may be handy for a future projects I have in mind. Good work
