Hello.

I need a refresher how to make beveled gears . I forgot how to do it
I have gears under extra objects but I need a tutorial how to do fancy gears with bevel.
Thanks.

After you add a gear, press F6 (or look at the bottom of the tool shelf) to see the options. There is conical angle in the gear settings.

What you’re looking for is probably Crown setting. Scale Z 0 upper part vertices, delete faces and mirror parts. Middle loopcut could be deleted also. http://www.pasteall.org/pic/46842

Eppo, I manage to make a beveled gear. Not the best one.
Thanks for helping.
