One of my customers has an Epilog LASER cutter, and an interest in my project. Cutting the gears won't be a problem.
:-)
Generating the toolpath, on the other hand, may cause a few issues. I know about the woodgears.ca site, and it will generate every gear we need, including the annulus. BUT its output is in HPGL. Neither of us has a CAD program more sophisticated than ProGE, so we can't handle HPGL. Anyone know of a converter that would work, between HPGL and DXF/DWG? Most (all?) of the gear generators that output directly to DXF can't do annulus gears.
