Re: Change from External to Internal teeth
Sorry about the double post, I was going to delete one but it was late last night and I forgot. Anyhow, now that I know they are not the same, is there any way I can derive the correct internal profile from the external profile I have? I can't draw a proper single tooth. See, I need the drawing to be involute so I can take this drawing somewhere to be manufactured (edm, perhaps laser, etc.). I have a program (Geargen) that will make an involute external gear in a dxf, but not internal. Can I somehow convert it in Inventor or AutoCAD? Or are there any other programs that will make the drawing?

I found an involute internal gear on cbliss, but it does not seem to show anything when I open it. All the features are grey-ed out.

Is there any way to make a gear drawing good enough to cut in AutoCAD?
