Makers, robotics builders, and CNC hobbyists who need a reliable 3 Mod steel spur gear without a pre-cut keyway or fixed bore will find this series covers tooth counts from 10T all the way to 56T, giving you the flexibility to machine the bore to your exact specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gear is machined from #45 carbon steel, a medium-carbon alloy known for its balance of strength and machinability. The flat (disc) profile keeps axial footprint minimal. Outer diameters scale with tooth count: the 10T gear measures approximately 36 mm (1.42 in) tip-to-tip, while the 56T reaches approximately 174 mm (6.85 in); hub thickness is typically 20–30 mm depending on the variant. Module 3 pitch means a 3 mm pitch diameter per tooth, fully compatible with any standard Mod 3 rack, pinion, or mating gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include DIY CNC router axis drives, open-frame robotic arm joints, conveyor indexing mechanisms, and educational automation rigs where a custom-bored gear is required.
