New Version 3.001
features an innovative approach and a complete re-write that
designs not only involute and cycloidal spur gears but
also clock escape and ratchet wheels
(Dead-Beat, Ratchet and Anchor) too!



New features for this version include spokes for clock type wheels, clock escape wheels and ratchet wheels (Dead-Beat, Ratchet and Anchor styles). You can now save and load individual wheel settings from the system menu. You can now zoom in and out of the preview with the mouse wheel and drag the picture around to suit your specific needs.

New toolbar in Version 3.001 includes:
Sequence of Operations
Supplementary Holes
Annotation
Single tooth inspection
Ruler
and more!

This application is used as an aid to the design of simple spur gears using either involute or cycloidal tooth form. It shows a preview of the tooth form or of the whole wheel. It generates a simple DXF file which can be imported into a CAD package. It also generates an ISO cnc mill file from which a part may be manufactured.

The program will interact by regenerating whenever you alter a design parameter. Values which have to be typed will be activated when you press return. Check boxes and radio buttons will cause a regeneration immediately. Each time the wheel is regenerated the GCode file and the DXF file will be rewritten.

If you set the cutter diameter to zero, you get a drawing of the actual wheel.

Full control of all design parameters like spokes and hub diameter means
you can easily generate beautiful custom clock-type wheels too!

"I bought this program a couple of years ago and I have found it brilliant.
I have pointed quite a few to your web site as I feel that work
such as this needs to be encouraged."

" I love this product ! I do a lot of talks on watch and clock restoration....
I will start talking it up, big time !"

"...I am very pleased with the software...great program for the price."

"I checked the values with my Excel spreadsheet for generating
cycloidal gears - and it is right on the money."

"I used to have to go from Excel spread sheet to Autocad
and then draw them...this program allows me to generate the DXF
or the GCode directly. Very nice! Give my kudos to the program author."

"...it works wonderfully, no problems at all...it is well suited to my needs..."

"The software has been great. I have also used it to generate the profile to
grind single point cutters for the more conventional fourth axis gear cutting."

"Got the software yesterday; great job. I love it. It's saving me so much time."

"You don't have any other software offers do you? I was really
impressed with the quality of this one."
