I am not sure this is the right forum section anyway ..
I need to machine an 80 teeth pulley. I am using gearotic to figure out the outside diameter of the blank but, after an extensive search on the web, I am still unable to figure out the correct profile of the cutter. it is possible that I am not so good finding it but ..
Yes I would like to grind myself the cutter having the means to do that.
Anyone has informations on the correct tooth profile of a t5 pulley?
An article Form relieved toothed belt cutters published
MEW 164 June 2010 shows toothed belt cutters
made using the Eureka form relieving tool which may be
of some interest.
I have recently done something similar using a ground fly
cutting tool to cut 1/5 XL pulleys the photo here
shows a 66 tooth pulley being flycut / hobbed
takes about 4 minutes to cut all the teeth.
A gear tooth caliper is a useful thing to have when grinding
these sort of profiles ,they can be had from China these days
for around £25.
