On closer examination the formula looks to be

HubDiameter=PitchDiameter x Ratio/100 + HoleDiameter

If you could confirm I would appreciate it
Thanks

I plan to install a clamp screwed to a circular gear to fix the gear securely to its shaft.  I'd still like to have spokes on the gear but need to be sure the hub diameter is sufficient to accommodate the clamp screws.  Hub size is given as a ratio.  Is there a simple formula to give ...

Just for clarity, can you confirm the following regarding creating backlash (=greater clearances) in gears

On spur gears backlash is achieved by reducing the tooth width from 0.50 to say 0.49  (or less if more backlash is desired to reduce chance of gears binding)

On circular planetary gears ...

Thanks Art,
Your responses on all my queries have been prompt and very helpful
Cheers

I'm having great fun familiarising myself with Gearotic2. 

On the 3-axis workbench I've found that when items are closely spaced or overlapping it becomes impossible to select some of the objects.

For example, I placed a couple of small pinions in the space inside a larger planetary gear (to ...

I've struggled with this problem for a while and , to date, no solution seems ideal.  I work in wood on a relatively small scale (toys and gadgets for the grandkids).  I  am happy to use plastic or metal components if these offer a good solution for fixing a wooden gear to the shaft ...

I wish to superimpose a large spur gear over a (slightly) smaller planetary gear so I can create a ring with teeth inside and out.

Consequently, on the 3 Axis Work bench I need these two gears to be precisely concentric before generating the G-code using AutoCut. (I'll later edit out the bits of G ...

Hi, I'm a newbie to Gearotic but not to CNC machining.  I work only in wood.  On the 3D Workbench, after generating tool paths using Autocut, I want to delete the first path for the shaft hole from each gear as I typically machine these holes first and then use them to screw down each gear ...
