Purchasing Gears

Pretty recently, there was a thread where a fellow was using a printed wheel with divisions as his indexing guide for making gears. It consisted of what looked like a piece of plywood, a shaft, a pointer, and a wheel that he'd printed off the computer with the number of lines he needed, equally spaced.

I wonder if I was that gentleman?
I did cut a gear that way

and post 26 shows the cutting.
I print the scales off here

That gear is still in use today with no problems.
I've printed many of those disks off for various jobs and yes they are not EXACT they were more than close enough to perfect for me.
The last set were 100 divs and 110 divs for new divisions around a dial and the 110 for a short section for a vernier.
