MOD .8 and 32p Gears
I have heard that you can use 32p pinion with a MOD .8 spur. Does anybody here have any experience with using a set up like that? Would it cause the two gears to wear down faster?
As some of you probably know, the conversion to metric is 25.4/p. So, 32p converted to metric is 25.4/32 = 0.79375. Which is pretty much 0.8. Also, let's go the other way, to convert back into pitch it is 25.4/M. So, 25.4/0.8 = 31.75 which again is pretty close, actually only 1% difference.
So imo there would be no harm using 32p pinion with a .8 MOD.
