Measurement over wires Stub Spur Gear

Measurement over wires Stub Spur Gear

(OP)
I need some help determining what measurement I should get over wires of a known size.  I have 3 different gears to measure and would ideally like to use the same size wires?  Anyone know of a formula to determine the measurement over a given wire size?

Thanks for the link gearcutter, unfortunately it only appears to be for metric units and I do not have a metric gear...know of any sites that deal with inch gears?

All you had to do was convert from metric.............surely that is no big deal....25.4mm = 1 inch.

Look more carefully at all the information in front of you when on the site and you will note that there is a link to what you require.

gearcutter,

Thank you, it has been a rough couple of days and I did not look as closely as I normally would have.

I have found the correct link and now will be able to compare the measurements I get.  Another new venture for me, dealing with gears.  As a Manufacturing Engineer very little of my time in the past has dealt with gears so I am quickly learning daily on them.

Thank you again.

Thank you Gearguru, your link took me to the same place I should have found the first go around.
