Involute gear cutter thickness
I'd never checked but had assumed that involute gear cutters in a set would be the same thickness. Found out tonight they aren't (or at least the M1.5 ones I've got aren't).
Not an issue if you are just cutting one gear, but if you happen to be cutting a couple with different tooth count and need to change the cutter to suit - it will no longer be on center height due to the different thickness.
You need to reset the centre height for each cutter.
Hopefully that saves someone else making the same dumb assumption I did, but if was the only one on planet that didn't already know, then just sleep easy that I do now
