I make gears on my CNC router for different projects.

Pictured are the latches I made for our vending trailer for the tailgate and tool and spare tire compartment.

I got the software here https://woodgears.ca/

You can print out on paper and scroll saw, or if access to CNC or laser export a vector dxf file.
