I probably should have done that myself, but it was as much a 'can I do it'
project as anything else, which with Andy P's help on the code worked very
well for the small light duty sprockets I needed. The biggest problem was
the tables backlash, which resulted in the teeth being about 2 thou wide
causing minor binding. I needed a move to the other side of its backlash
to hold the table as it started down the other side of the tooth. But by
the time I discovered that, I already had them made, so a stroke of a file
per tooth fixed most of it.
Thanks Igor.
