Hi,
Does anyone have gearcutting data for the changewheel gears on this lathe. Specifically the Tufnol tumbler gears 26 tooth; 2.00" dia, but what pressure angle and form is it a British or American standard. The involute cutter that I have is 14.5 pressure angle but this when offered up to the pinion there is a light gap at the flanks at the root?

Thanks for reading this post

I have no specific knowledge of this lathe, but they are more than likely
14.5 deg.
Understand that standard gear cutters cut a range of teeth and really only
fit the middle of the range perfectly.
In any event, the change gears on a lathe are really more about dividing,
than power transmission and you can get away with a pretty lousy fit if the
tooth count is right..
