How to draw a gear

I need 3 gears drawn, but after perusing the documentation, I find nothing ?
I need ellipticals of 9X5 (major x minor axis) and 8X6 (major x minor axis), also a 7"d gear.
Any help is appreciated,

I’d rather suggest using some CAD program to make the task easier. I recommend FreeCAD which is free and versatile, but its learning curve is rather steep. Others are available; just query the net to find the one fitting your needs.

I use an online website and open the svg file in Draw:
Involute teeth: Involute Spur Gear Builder
Cycloidal (for clocks): Cycloidal Gear Builder

Note the assumption of millimetres for dimensions

Just for fun:
I created an ellipse, and aligned many V characters to the shape.
