Spiral Cut

A method of cutting materials in a helical shape, often used in machining or culinary contexts to produce spiral-shaped products.

Crown Gears

A type of gear with teeth projecting at right angles to the plane of the wheel, allowing for angular transmission of torque, often used in differentials.

Pinion

A smaller, usually stub-shaped gear used to drive a larger gear in an arrangement such as crown and pinion gearing in final drive carriers or the starter motor pinion that engages with the flywheel ring gear.
