I dunno how everyone else does gears, but what i do is i make a tooth, and use the ciruclar pattern tool to create a number of them rotating around a point. then I use the sketch doctor to combine all the redudant points together. Exit the sketch and use the extrude feature to create a 3d gear. Need any help feel free to IM me @ specialagentjim
