Excellent book for the mechanical enthusiast! Well written, with enough drawing aids, it does not require high math skills! You must know a little bit of miling operations and machines to get the full photo of the book!
Review of Gears & Gear Cutting June 10, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the most informative book on gear cutting that I have ever read. Even though the "Machinists' Handbook" covers gears in more precise mathematical detail, this book was written to educate the hobby or amateur machinist on how to both design and make several types of gears (spur, worm, bevel). The author educates the reader on gear theory, and then on how to make the gears on inexpensive hobby lathes/mills. In addition, he covers how to make gear cutters inexpensively, and use them to make the gears. The language he uses is simple and concise, yet he covers gear theory enough so that the reader has advanced knowledge of the fundamentals necessary to design thier own gears and gear trains.
I have no negative criticism to offer of this book - it was exactly what I was looking for, and my money was well spent.

Good practical book, bit over my head but I will read until I understand fully. Worth having.
