This question will be a bit hard to answer.
With a smallish lathe (600 mm centre)and a small drill mill which
module cutter set would be the best to to cut the sort of general
purpose gears? not tiny ones for model making.
one instance would be a gearbox to turn a pig on a spit.
maybe the gears on the end of a sheet metal roller or a swage&
jenny machine,or replacement thread turning gears for a lathe.
Module 1 or 1.5 or 2 etc?

I cut only those gears I can't buy:

If you want to cut change gears, you need to match the module of
lathe's existing gears. They would likely be good enough for other
human-powered mechanisms.

How would you work out the module of the set for a change gear in your
hand if you do not have the cutter?
