The gears used on the Climax are not spiral bevels, but skew bevels. As I
understand it a spiral bevel, as usually sold, is similar to the well known
straight bevel where the shafts meet at a point, but has spirally cut teeth to
give a greater contact area and greater smoothness.

Agreed, it's not easy, but today I cut the first of several hundred skew bevel
