    Indeed that was a typo.

    thanks, Marv, for the eagle eyes!

    The GEARFIND program on my site allows the user to specify

    desired ratio
    allowable maximum ratio error
    number of gear pairs to consider
    minimum number of gear teeth
    maximum number of gear teeth

    It will then find all the gear arrangements within those limits that satisfy the ratio within the allowable error and write this information to an ASCII file that can be read or printed.

    As an example, we can get a bit closer to the desired 1.270000... by using two pairs of gears instead of one. I had the program look for arrangements of gears with teeth in the range 16 - 40 that would provide the ratio with an error less than 0.01%. The output looks like this...

    Code:
    Desired ratio = 1.27

    Before someone asks, let me explain the significance of the double asterisks (**) in the program output. As the program finds a solution that satisfies the user's criteria, it checks to see if that solution is better than the best solution it has found so far. If it is, it marks it with the double asterisks. Thus, the user, when examining the file, can simply scan down to the last entry marked with the asterisks to identify the best possible solution.

    Of course, if you're just making a metric bolt, you don't need better accuracy than the 47/37 combination provides. However, in situations that demand high accuracy you may want to keep this program in mind.

    What am I missing here?
    It seems that everyone is looking for ways to avoid using a 127 tooth gear. Is there something wrong with using 127?

    Tony, I don’t think anyone is saying there is something wrong with a 127T gear, we know that is the perfect choice if you have one.
    I do not have one and can’t make one with my 60:1 dividing head and they are expensive to buy, hence the compromise approach. I also do not have CNC available.

    OK, so that is what I was missing. Every lathe with an inch based lead screw that I have used had a 127 tooth gear and I assumed that was universal.

    Couple of years ago I found small (24 kB) program 'SuperSpacer' and below is calculation for cutting 127 gears.

    SuperSpacer is working fine. I downloaded it couple of years ago. But I am having problems with youtube recently. That web page is blacklisted.
    Must check your web site. Thanks for sharing.
