Thanks Mayhem,
Thats interesting, it gives a different whole depth than the calculations I found. From what I gather changing the whole depth alters the tooth clearance.
I plan to have the pinion on a spring loaded arm to give zero backlash to the rack, so the whole depth may not be that critical.
Will down load the software, thanks.
Spoke too soon, no Mac version as usual.
Will get it the next time I have the windows side booted up drafting.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
