hi,
how do i output an stl for a stepped gear(a gear with multiple tooth counts on different diameters)? is it even possible?
thanks,

i was looking for this too... is it in an older version that could be downloaded?
thanks,

I have a taig cnc without a 4th axis, every time  I try to cut a bevel it just cuts a regular spur gear. I just wanted to try making some bevel gears. Do I need to export the gear to an external cam software?

do i have to use a 4th axis to machine bevel gears? can i machine them from flat stock? if so how?
thanks,
