Spiral Bevel gear in NX 1

[jerry1423]

Can anybody give a good reference to read that will help me create a spiral bevel pinion gear in NX6?
I understand the cones that are associated to the OD and root diameter of the gear, but I do not understand the path that the sidewalls of each tooth follow as they are related to the mean spiral angle.

Take a look at this helical gear by all means. It was created partly in association with an earlier question on this forum. Among other things you should be able to deduce a reasonable construction method from the file. Hopefully it also helps with you're gear design question.

Sometimes I'm not getting files to attach on my first attempt. Perhaps we Firefox users are being dudded again? Its a conspiracy I tell you!
