What Is the Meaning of Some Basic Bevel Gear Terms. Such as Pitch Diameter, “Face”, Maximum Bore, Stock Bore, Mounting Distance, Hub Diameter, and Length Through Bore?

Title says it all. I need to work with/buy a bevel gear for a project I’m working on, and cannot figure out what these terms mean to save my life. There is little to no explanations for a person with entry-level knowledge on the subject. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

And, I’m not sure If I’m over-stepping my boundaries by continuing, BUT I’m willing to take that chance.

Say I wasn’t going to mount it on a shaft, and I would, theoretically, mount the bevel gear to something with a large hole in the center (simplistically, a tall ring.). Do you think I could drill through the Hub (where you mentioned “Hub Diameter”), thread the newly made hole, and screw a screw through that, into the tall ring? Or would I have to custom-order that, as I wouldn’t be able to drill through the hardened steel?
