compined Helical and Beveled gear

[dlguess]

I'm working on repairing a spiraled, tapered helical gear for an older readial saw. Why they designedit like that I don't know. Need to figure out how to taper the gear then twist it or twist then bevel it. Or I may just sell the saw for parts.

@dlguess with the next version the bevel gear gets its own Helix angle (in its Helix section, 0 to start with, so it is straight as before): above 0 its teeth turn while they taper, a spiral bevel gear, so you can try remaking that saw gear. Match the teeth and module first, then set the angle. It is an approximation, not an exactly worked out spiral bevel pair, and such a gear stays a triangle mesh, so no fillets or STEP on it.

@dlguess the spiral bevel gear is in layerling 1.142.0 now: pick the bevel gear and set its helix angle.
