It is also important to check, whether a final machining process like threaded wheel grinding, profile grinding or honing may negatively affect the gear root stresses due to the position and shape of the grinding notch. This and many other aspects related to it, can be further analyzed with 3D-FEM root stress calculation in KISSsoft.
