Sorry I don't have a .dwg compatible CAD program, so I can't view these gear files. From the links I have received, it's turning out that it's not that difficult to generate the gear profile ounce you have the pitch diameter and pitch determined, so the drawings might not be all that handy. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
