Imagine a gear and a cylinder. I need to orbit a gear around a cylinder and capture the pattern it produces on cylinder's surface (a gear-mate essentially).
Is there a kind of cut-with-mate feature I could use?

Hi Flegmatoid
Short answer: no
Gears are not my field of expertise but I believe you can use an equation driven curve.
A while back Dennis Dohogne shared his parametric gear files and there are some links you may find useful.
Does Anyone have a Parametric Bevel Gear Model to Share?
