Default Why Build Excellent CAD Into Your Awesome CAM Product?

One question about your project: Are you planning to use involute
cutters, like the shape used in gear milling, or are you trying to
replicate a Fellows gear shaper and generating the teeth?

It it's the former, it sounds like a big challenge, but doable. If
it's the latter, abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Does CNC make feeding a rack-tooth-shaped cutter across the
synchronously rotating blank practical?
