hey have beaing doing some thinking and how is that one cut's internal gears. with a shapping cutter. thanks for any input mog

I 've cut internal 60 degree and 45 degree internal splines using a Bridgeport Shaping Attatchment and a good quality rotary table before, but that's a simple angled tooth profile on the cutter. Also before getting a Fellows Gear Shaper.

The profile for a single gear tooth cutter would be a bit more difficult to gring up and create considering it's involute profile, point width, and pressure angle you needed. All will have to be calculated out well in advance for a good quality internal gear

It's simple with a Gear Shaper and what's called a Pencil Cutter.

We are doing some internal splines using their system on our C axis lathe. Been doing a great job.
