Code 3635 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing gears of all types and sizes.  Metal bar stock is cut to size and drilled to form gear blanks using power machinery such as drill presses, lathes and grinders.  Additional operations involve tapping, deburring, flanging and assembling gear units.

Plastic gears are manufactured using the injection molding process where pellets are loaded into a hopper which are gravity fed.  The plastic gears are then formed, tapped, flanged and assembled.
