Ultra Tec Index Gears

"Index Gears!"

The Ultra Tec Faceting Machine comes with a 96 Index Gear--the most often used. Faceting designs specify the Index Gear, and the 96 and 64 cover about 80% of published designs. Changing Index Gears takes only a few minutes. The symmetry of a design depends on which numbers divide evenly into the available number of teeth on the Index Gear. For example, a 5-sided design will use an 80 Index Gear, a 3-sided design will use a 72 or 96, etc. Why does a designer choose one or another when both will allow the same number of sides?--well, the more teeth, the more subtlety of design is possible. Index Gears available are: 32 - 64 - 72 - 77 - 80 - 96 - 120.
