Splines and gears
Just curious if Intercon has splines or gear cutter in it with 4th axes. I am waiting for the 2 Acorns and Pro and just wondering in the meantime.

Re: Splines and gears
You may want to check out Fusion360. There are some nice features in there to generate gears. Then, you can just post for the Centroid control.
I know where you can download a nice post, if you're interested.

Re: Splines and gears
Fusion 360 gear generation is just developing the solid model of the gear and creating regular tool paths to profile the gear or to generate a toolpath and rotary table positioning moves to use with an involute cutter.
What I was hoping for when I saw this thread was synchronized W axis and spindle movement to HOB gears and splines.

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
