Anyone had success cutting wooden gears with their Maslow? Tips on where to start appreciated.
Thanks
I have had good success with this tool: https://sprocketeer.software.informer.com/2.0/
both with my 3D printer and on my Maslow - it produces DXF files which I prefer and can then modify in my CAD program - (I don’t trust g code I haven’t produced myself) good luck

Easel has an app for gears. I’ve cut some and it comes out well as long as you go slow.

I’ve been a long term Gearotic user. Better and more types of gears and related devices (clock escapements, pulleys, and much more) than you could shake a swamp rat at. Also an enthusiastic forum with lots of help
My first Maslow cut was a sad looking Gearotic gear, needed more calibration plus a shop rebuild

I wrote some code a long time ago to draw gear outlines. These days you can just use someone else’s.
Here’s an option:
