Gears & Gear Cutting (Workshop Practice Series 17) Review: Substatial and well rounded book - This book actually surprised me, it is literally brimming over with solid and detailed information. When opening the package I thought "Hmm, this looks pretty thin." But in that thin package is one of the most detailed yet easy to follow tutorials I have read. The text is practical, concise, and hands-on oriented. The first part of the text covers gear theory in a adult way, no over simplified grade school explanations, you won't feel like you're being talked down to. The same treatment is used for the gear cutting theory portion, and then practical portion about cutting and jig building. It has excellent pictures and diagrams, that add to the text instead of just being pretty to look at. Too often How-to books feel like wasted money to me. They provide little information that could not be read off of Wikipedia or a patched together tutorial. Or they are fluff and pictures with little "meat and potatos" information. Not this book. If you want to make your own gears, I am confident that this is the book for you. If I wanted to learn more on the subject, I would have to go to an advanced upper level college text, which this book has laid a stable foundation for doing if I need to go that route. Review: I bought two gear books with the same name. They're similar, but I found this one more to my liking. - Buy this gear book, not the other one. The other looks to be newer, but I preferred this older book of the same name. This is for someone that is serious about gears and wants an easy to understand, days read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0852429118 | | Best Sellers Rank | #723,479 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #553 in Automotive Engineering (Books) #1,270 in Mechanical Engineering (Books) #1,691 in Civil & Environmental Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (391) | | Dimensions | 6.06 x 0.31 x 8.27 inches | | Edition | UK ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9780852429112 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0852429112 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 136 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1998 | | Publisher | Trans-Atlantic Publications, I | ## Images ![Gears & Gear Cutting (Workshop Practice Series 17) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mmaj9t1rL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Substatial and well rounded book *by I***T on September 7, 2011* This book actually surprised me, it is literally brimming over with solid and detailed information.

They're similar, but I found this one more to my liking. *by M***R on April 20, 2025* Buy this gear book, not the other one. The other looks to be newer, but I preferred this older book of the same name. This is for someone that is serious about gears and wants an easy to understand, days read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review of Gears & Gear Cutting *by D***N on June 10, 2007* This is the most informative book on gear cutting that I have ever read. Even though the "Machinists' Handbook" covers gears in more precise mathematical detail, this book was written to educate the hobby or amateur machinist on how to both design and make several types of gears (spur, worm, bevel). The author educates the reader on gear theory, and then on how to make the gears on inexpensive hobby lathes/mills. In addition, he covers how to make gear cutters inexpensively, and use them to make the gears. The language he uses is simple and concise, yet he covers gear theory enough so that the reader has advanced knowledge of the fundamentals necessary to design thier own gears and gear trains. I have no negative criticism to offer of this book - it was exactly what I was looking for, and my money was well spent. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6496259-gears-and-gear-cutting-workshop-practice-series-17](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6496259-gears-and-gear-cutting-workshop-practice-series-17) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
