    measure over pin method for gears

    Using the info from the video and your dimensions we would calculate DP this way. (2 + tooth count) / OD in inches or 32/ 1.606" = 19.925 We would calculate Module this way OD in mm/ (2 + tooth count) or 40.82/32 = 1.275 Then using his chart to display whether it is likely Module or DP it...

He demonstrates how to measure an odd tooth gear. Since you can't directly measure the OD, instead, measure the distance from the inside of the...

    Tool Which Arbour Press to buy?

    CA-BC VFD enclosures

    I have 3 of this model. They fit the Teco VFD's that I used on my lathe and mill as well as the no-name one I used on my drill press. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005UPA0DC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
