Re: Gear Ratios

Alright guys. I got my stuff figured out and I made it in Alibre Designs. I used an 8.75-1 ratio which is about 8.61 fps. Thank you all for your help and I'll post some pictures. Thanks again. O yeh the reason the gears look wierd is to simulate the meshing, I'm to lazy to make real gears. I've also done the research and found places to buy every single piece i need. Aluminum, shafts from Mcmaster; gears from W.M. Berg; and bearings from Boston Gear.
