Bevel Pinion with a No. 6 Cutter, Filed at the Small End (Brown & Sharpe 1911)

The same 12-tooth, 8-pitch pinion as Brown & Sharpe's worked example, but cut the way their own shop did it: with a No. 6 cutter instead of the No. 8 they sell for it, cut to the right thickness at the large end, then filed well round at the small end. They did this only for a 12-tooth pinion running with a gear two or three times its size. Source: Brown & Sharpe, Practical Treatise on Gearing (1911), Fig. 23 example, Part I ch. IX–X, Part II ch. III and the set-over table p. 58. The blank sizes are our arithmetic with their rules; the steel and bore are ours. Picture: their Fig. 23.
