Could someone please shed some light on the subject of milling gears for me? I am wanting to mill a herringbone gear out of some pre-turned cylindrical stock. Has anyone attempted this or actually achieved this? attached is an example of what I am wanting to do

It may not be the exact size, but the feature history will show the best way to model up something like this.
I added the teeth as solids, but if cutting from stock, now that I think of it, it should be cut instead of solid sweeps. Just the inverse profile would be created with the same steps however.Regards,Mike LaFleche @mlaflecheCAD7

Are you looking for advice regarding milling herringbone gears on a milling machine, or modelling them in Onshape, or both?0
