2D/3D Gear Design

I'm looking for a freebie gear maker, most likely in a macro form. I found this but it's only a 15 day trial then you have to pay. [Yes, the server is currently down, I know.]

Anywho, I've searched far and wide for another similar program but have come up with nothing. I understand how to make a standard spur type gear, but there are some that I can't grasp. I'm looking at miter and bevel gears out of the Small Parts Inc catalog and pulling other bits of information out of my Machinery's Handbook to try and make the gears on AutoCAD but it is a real pain.

Anyone know of an easier way to make gears?
