Seen this type of gear before?
(OP)
I have not seen this type of gear and have no clue how to reproduce this.
It's mated at 90 degrees. I thought any type of bevel gear would that job.
Please share some knowledge TIA

Face gears are generally manufactured on specially modified gear shaping machines.
The face gear in the image below has been hobbed on either a modified hopping machine or a bevel gear generating machine.

The face gear in this model has been generated with a disk shaper cutter.

The information is really helpful. It is indeed a space gear, and we found a solution how to produce this gear!
