all simple shapes m8, the first picture is a boolean, place a cylinder in the middle of a cube select them and subtract one from the other.

the second can be done with a helical mel scrpit or normal cv placement, and then u extrude a circle up the length of it.

Cogs are done using a number of ways, you could make a cylinder and scale in every other face :)

in 3dsmax go to the create menu, and select compound objects from the list. Select one of the objects in the viewport and pick the boolean button under the compoud objects set. Select b-a or a-b subtraction based on if you selected the cylinder or the rectangle first. Now click "pick operand b" and select the other object. bamo.
