Model Forum / General / Models / January 2012RDG Involute Gear Cutters
Does anyone have any experience of the involute gear cutters sold by RDG? Wondering it they are any good, i.e. accurate cutter forms and made of something tougher than cheese (though labelled otherwise..) My previous experience of RDG quality on Myford parts has not been particularly good, so input on these would be welcome.

As Mark has given a favourable report on the RDG items, I think I miht go this route as theya re only around £15 or so.

Split one when fitting it to my arbour (+0 -0.0002"). RDG replaced it without question (suspect it had a crack in the corner of the keyseat from the ease with which it split). Haven't had any problems using them, but haven't made many gears with them. Gears I've made with them run quietly. Of course, every batch might be different...
