Not wanting to high jack Tim's thread,
I thought this might be a good place to post an Excel spread sheet that I used to obtain an accurate button size and spacing for cutting of the form tool.
The method I used was taken from the Workshop Practice Series #17 - Gears and gear cutting. You will also need Marv Klotz's Gears program. :bow: :bow:
Just follow this link http://www.myvirtualnetwork.com/mklotz/#shop and download the GEAR.ZIP file.
The sheet is saved in an Microsoft Excel 2000 version and was proofed against a CAD drawing to confirm the results.
Questions and improvements welcome.
Some pics of my cutter and change gears.
Cheers,
Phil
