Which gear standards are there?

Just dove into gear standards in watchmaking—who knew there were so many? 😅 Discovered NIHS 20-30 is the latest and greatest. Excited to make the upgrade and keep things ticking smoothly. If you're curious, check out my GitHub project and see the gears in action! 🔧⌚️ https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/which-gear-standards-are-there/

If you're into gear-making, the NIHS standards like 20-01, 20-02, and 20-10 are your go-tos, but the new NIHS 20-30 is the latest hotness. It's not available open-source, but the author plans to upgrade their project to this new standard. Check out their work on GitHub for some cool insights into cycloidal gears. ⚙️

NIHS 20-01 NIHS 20-02 NIHS 20-10

Recommended in the book "Wheel & Pinion Cutting in Horology"

This look amazing, but apparently there's NIHS 20-30 now, which is the latest, just purchased it, but I dont think I can open source that one

As is, it works and follows the rules, but will move to 20-30 and make it awesome.
