Okay, we just verified the calculation (at least based on our formula), so lets look at possibility (c) – Are the gears mounted correctly?
This follows the same logic as the index gear set: (1) 46T gear should be on the first shaft, i.e. the shaft that rotates as cutter table moves. (2) 61T gear meshes with the 46T gear and is on the Idler shaft. (3) 60T gear mounts on the idler shaft with the 61T gear. (4) 62T mounts on the final shaft. It always mounts on the final shaft. Remember the single-gear idler? The SECOND TEST above determined if the additional idler is necessary. If a single-gear idler is required it should be placed in mesh either between the 60T/62T pair or between the 46T/61T pair. This is the last step required to cut the gear correctly. If the angle is not correct by this time, then the formula for differential is not correct. If the angle is correct, congratulations! Set the cutter to depth and go for it! My only concern is with the last test, so here is another Caveat: CAVEAT: When you check the helix angle, try to measure it as closely as possible. If you can get access to a lead checking machine, by a
