One of the inate problems with bevel gears is that they always have side loads applied to the shaft. It's also hard to support the shaft on both sides of both gears. We used bevel gears (when I was on 7) in 2000 and they gave us nothing but problems. Part of it was there was no gearing ratio but the bevel gears just exasperated that problem. We destroyed several motors this way.
Matt who refused to use bevel gears in drive trains now....
