I need to cut a 16 DP, 14.5 PA, 40 tooth gear in the semi-near future.
My calculations indicate they gear will have an OD of 2.625".
I have a nice piece of 4140HT but it's only 2.5" and will be a tad smaller than that after the OD is cleaned up.
That's roughly 1/8" smaller that the calculated diameter.
Can I get away with this or should I spring for a length of 2.75" or 3"?
