Gentlemen,
I have attached a PDF with a pic of what I am trying to get my supplier to do. Hopefully this clears things up.

I am specifying a particular gear hob for creating a lead-in feature on an external gear. My supplier seems to be having difficulty creating the feature and it has me wondering if I am calling out the hob correctly. The not on the drawing reads like this:
LEAD-IN CREATED WITH

Thank you Gentlemen.
I thought this would be the answer, from what little I know about forging. But just wanted to make sure before I got too far down that path.

I don't have a lot of experience with the forging process. I learned about it way back in school, but professionally, I have not been involved with forgings too much, so this might sound like a dumb question. Can you create a forging using two pieces of dissimilar metals? Sort of like an insert...
I am sorry that I could not specify to your standards, dgallup. But I inherited this design and that is the only specification that I have...nylon 6. The gear is currently machined.
I currently have a gear that is made from nylon 6 and need to replace the material. I have been told that the nylon 6 can be replaced by PEEK (polyetheretherketone). Can anyone offer suggestions as to the particular grade of PEEK material that is suitable for making gears?
I have attached a...
Is there a recommended alternative material to replace Nylon 6 in a gear design? I would like to use a material that is not as sensitive to moisture as Nylon.
Thanks.

Thanks for the education, Mike! Perhaps I should have said "involute spline/gear profiles". Please look at the attached sample drawing. This is an example of the type og callout that I am trying to get the correct specification...
I am new to specifying gears. What is the current standard for the control of involute spline gear profiles? ANSI informs me that both B92.1 and B92.2 are "Out of Print".
