Does anyone know, of the top of their head, what the pressure angle is for these change gears? I want to order some cutters and make a few more change gears. In particular a 46 tooth gear so I can cut 11.5 tpi.

I did some more digging and measuring and I think these change gears have a 20° pressure angle. I would still like some confirmation before I order cutters though. Just in case anyone else would like to know the diametral pitch is 20 for these particular change gears.

Okay, more digging and measuring this evening and have determined that they aren't 20 diametral pitch, they are a module 1.25, 20° pressure angle. A 20 diametral pitch 20° pressure angle would probably work just fine as a change gear but I am getting the 1.25 mod hob, so they will match. Guess I should have assumed that the gearing on this machine would be metric.
