I know that there are certain types of presses that use elliptical gears like Jonathan mentioned, but those are straight-cut rather than helical. I made these just to show that it can be done. I'm glad you guys like them. Please don't try to eat it LOL!

Of course, they aren't usually made of wood! That style of gear is actually useful for very specific applications where the speed needs to vary up and down in a regular cycle.
