How are Spur Gear Teeth Made Thicker?
(OP)
When a pinion spur gear tooth is made thicker to increase bending strength and the mating gear is made thinner, since it is normally stronger, are special cutters needed?
Does it depend on how the gears are cut? Hob, shaper...
One example might be that I want the pinion tooth to be 10% thicker and the gear 10% thinner than normal so they have the same bending strength.

I assume the gear OD then is normally adjusted to keep the tooth height about the same.
Does this mean the pitch diameter is different or considered to be unchanged?
