Please, in the ToolBox for helical gear generation, theof teeth and spiral angle. This angle that he asks for is radians for example 8.502 or degrees 8º 30 '7 " ? We need to input this value in radians or degrees?
Toolbox gears ARE NOT GEARS! They are merely a general representation of a gear in that they have teeth, but they are in no way accurate - not even close. If you need a decent helical gear then search somewhere other than Toolbox. I have good parametric models for inch and metric spur and ring gears. If you want them so you can modify them to make a helical gear you are welcome to them, just let me know.

They should have a similar popup warning for Toolbox gears.
