A Gear Cut by the Fellows Cutter: 40 Teeth Generated, Not Drawn
A 40-tooth spur gear whose teeth were made the way Edwin R. Fellows's gear-shaping machine (US 579,708, 1897) makes them. The published Fellows cutter was rolled against a blank as if the two were meshing gears, and every position of the cutter was cut away. What remained is this gear.
No tooth was drawn by hand. The flanks came out as true involutes, and the cutter's tips left a curved fillet at the root, as on a real shaped gear. The tooth count, face width and bore are stated choices; the patent gives no dimensions.

How the cutter made these teeth
How the cutter made these teeth
In Fellows's machine the blank "is rotated step by step in unison with the cutter" while the cutter reciprocates across it, and each stroke planes away a little metal. His specification lists the result: "The cutter generates the form of the curve of each gear-tooth cut on the blank, so that each tooth cut is theoretically correct," and "One size of cutter for any given pitch will cut any size of gear." This model was made the same way. The 24-tooth cutter was rolled one full turn around a 105 mm blank in 2,400 positions, and each position was subtracted from the blank.

The model in 3D
Spin the gear in the viewer and look at the curve where each flank meets the root. The cutter's tips made that curve, and no one drew it. It was built in FreeCAD and saved as one joined .blend mesh, editable in free Blender.

Print it
Lay it flat on one face. It needs no supports. PLA is fine for a display model. Two copies at 100 mm centres have no tip clearance and no backlash, which leaves no room for printing tolerance, so a printed pair is for studying the tooth form.
