Gear Drawing

Draw the pitch circle and a horizontal tangent to the pitch circle
Gear Drawing

Draw a line inclined at an angle 14.5o with the previous line. This is the pressure line.
Gear Drawing

Draw a line from the center which is perpendicular to the pressure line
Gear Drawing

Draw a circle with radius OA and center O. This is the base circle
Gear Drawing

Divide the base circle in 2N equal segments so as to provide space for N teeth and N spaces.
Gear Drawing

Diametral Pitch, Pd = N/D

Addendum, a = 1/Pd
Dedandum, b = 1.157/Pd

Draw the addendum circle [Dadd = D+2a] and the dedandum circle [Dded = D-2b]
 Gear Drawing

Draw two circles with centers at 1 and 4 on the base circle and radius 1/4th of the pitch diameter
to form a single tooth
 Gear Drawing

Draw two circles with centers at 1 and 4 on the base circle and radius 1/4th of the pitch diameter
to form a single tooth
Gear Drawing

Erase unnecessary portion of the circles and keep the outline of the tooth
