[Ch...] Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Alright guys, I feel like I should be able to get this easy but I'm struggling. Still learning the software. How can I get this helix angle on this gear? I've made a line on the gear tooth, and I want the angle back to either the ID or the top plane which is shown.

[Ma...] Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 You can make section with a cylinder, so you can have correct line. But my knowledge about gears is nonexistent. You can create a helix curve ( in Curves menu ), but i don't know how to report that. I know how helix looks like and how to calculate it, but not for gears - thread is some sort helix too. I once tried on cnc mill to calculate helix path according to datasheet of mill tool. I ended in distance of circumference over angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I would try Martin`s "section with cylinder" and then angle to cylinder axis. That should be it 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
