How to model a chamfer?

[magloviti]

Hi all,

Can someone please help me model a chamfer on this gear?

I made gear with Spurgear script and then modified it slightly to get the dimensions I need.

I don't know how to model chamfer on teeth.

Please help.

Thanks

Just chamfer two edges as shown in this screenshot (this is just a demo and you'll need to enter the correct angle and chamfer distance according to your requirements):

Then circular pattern the two chamfer faces like this:

Just a quick note: I'm not too familiar with the details of DIN 5480 splines (or any splines come to that!) and I don't know how important it is in your use case, but are you sure that using the gear script gives the correct tooth form?

Hope this helps.

Thanks for help,

I was certain that due to the shape, it had to be something much more complicated so I didn't even try Chamfer command.

I don't know what software company uses but I will have correct tooth profile generated for this job.

Thanks again

No problem, just thought I'd mention it in case it was important.
