A large gear cutter at the Watertown Arsenal was a specialized machine used to manufacture massive gears, for military machinery or heavy industrial equipment. The machine precisely shaped gear teeth by cutting or grinding material from a large gear blank, which was carefully centered on a rotary table using mechanical and optical systems. The gear cutter, built from heavy-duty materials ensured the production of accurate, durable gears essential for applications such as artillery, vehicles, or factory machinery.
