I have made this gear several times before with a fly cutter but have not been happy with what it looked like. After searching diligently for a cutter I ended up making the blank on my lather, cutting teeth on my mill and then using the cutter to make this gear. I'm satisfied with this on. riceone.

Before I make another one I will make a new broach to form the hole in the center. This one is tearing the metal. Thanks for comments. riceone
