Let's zoom into the gear curve down below here on the construction plane. Notice we've got the 24 teeth that we built previously. We've got a lot of sharp edges. My goal here is to filet all of them and this technique I call pre-filetize because it's efficient and I like to make up words. But this strategy actually saves us a ton of time later. If we waited to do the filet after it was a solid, there'd be a lot of additional picking. So you're pretty familiar with the filet command which we could do at any time.
