For the builders, a very useful tool:

I cannot imagine why nobody though on this before, including myself? It is so simple!...

Thanks path_finder - that might come in use one day & I've saved it to my favourites list.

Thanks path_finder, I too will be hanging on to it. Does not appear to be that hard to modify for chain sprockets of a given pitch.

I believe I will stick to my gear cutting index table for metal. :-)

This is a useful tool path_finder.

I used this to make the gears in my largest wheel by printing up the teeth and transcribing them onto wood.

Made the meshing more accurate.
