Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Usefull Utility

Think so? Take a good look at Machinery's Handbook. Everything I need to
draw tooth profiles from 1/4 P to 1P are listed in one charts.

If I was going to work with machining sprockets on a CNC machine, I'd draw
ONE tooth profile for each pitch size, save them all on one drawing.

Then when I needed a sprocket, I'd copy and paste the tooth profile as
needed to provide the sprocket drawing. Since I have Vector now, I'd import
the tooth profile directly into it for generating both the tooth profile of
the sprocket and the G-code for machining it. I'd probably have the tooth
profile as well as the g-code done in about ten minutes.
