Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any simple plans for a cog cutting file suitable for cutting on my LS3050? I also use Corel.
I am going to a Steampunk themed event this weekend and would like some for decoration, they do not need to funtion.
Thanks in advance, Nicola

Hello
You can make some in this and then download them as a plt that will import into laser cut5.3.

Have you tried Inkscape which is free software this has an excellent cog creation utility.

I found these resources...
http://geargenerator.com/ outputs svg files...
http://woodgears.ca/gear/ (this is really useful as you can add spokes etc) It is worth the purchase price if you are going to be working with gears (I purchased it a few years ago)
