I would just like to say thanks for the input some people provided to get me started with gear cutting ,The information was very helpful ,I've managed to make a couple of gears for practice just with number 1 modules but I can see now I'd be better of with modules maybe number 1.5 or up for what I want to do but at least I'm on track now ,I was furtunate enough also to be given some great books on gear cutting by a generous old gentleman ,books being
P.S Houghton gears
Ivan Laws gears and gear cutting
Calvin and Stanely gear cutting practice
Tha Caxton engineers hand book
Marshall gear wheels and gear cutting
Model engineers hand book volume 100 1949 .
The depth I'm still in doubt a bit but using a module 1 cutting I made the depth of cut at 2.157 mm I'm not convinced this is correct formula being known module x2.157 = 1x 2.157. This came from a web chart I found before I received the books the chart was from maryland metrics spur gear calculations .
