After solving the worlds problems over the phone with SteveC we discussed the merits and possibilities of cutting the racks for my future cnc plasma table. Steve says it can be done on the shaper (he's done it), good enough for me.
A DRO would make the task much simpler and more accurate, so I just ordered two scales with remote readouts to equip probably the worlds first shaper with a DRO.
Will have one on the table feed to index the teeth and a second on the down feed to get the tooth depth right and not have to rebuild the incredibly small indexing scales on the machine.
Pictures to follow.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
