Right, now it works as expected!

Thanks again/

Hi Art,

a humble question, do you have an idea why I get different shape compared to Gearotic?

If possible, please ...

Outstanding Art!

I would like to do some calculations on 1:st order elliptical gears.
For this I need to know;
1) Actual gear ratio as a function of driving axle angle (input).
2) The driven axle angle (output) as a function of actual ...

Thanks for the quick answer Art.

I suspected a rational explanation for this.

Sending a circular gears to the 4th-axis module works as expected. The gear shows up and I can create a tool path.

But when I try to send a ...
