Yep, it's gear weekend!
I'm also working on two gears for my Boye & Emmes 16A apron.
One is a bevel for the powerfeed (whole different subject).
The other is a new pinion for the rack.
The rack has about 6inches of wear near the headstock.
I'm planning on flipping it end to end and redrilling.
The pinion has about half the teeth significantly worn the other half unscathed.
I've found some prints with measurements (microfiche). The prints show an 8DP. My measurement of the pinion shows the same. I count 13teeth.
I've got a 8P 12-15tooth 14.5 pressure angle involute cutter.
It just doesn't look right. Way to small at the bottom.
I've only cut one so far. Looks more like a 10P.
When making a pinion do I need a rack cutter? Other ideas?
