Next up - gear cutting/ gear cutters!

Be aware that there are challenges with using a screwed-on item in a flat orientation that you show in the photo.

You would want to rotate the work so the cutting force tightens the faceplate onto the dividing head. However, with a standard cutter in the spindle, the cutting force will tend to unscrew the plate. Hence, proceed with caution, or add something to hold the two items together.

Thanks, we'd not thought of that.
