sprockets and cleat spacing
the old trucker:
Sandaybay..... my son you got me scratching my head. The only sense I can get outta this is that if I drilled holes in the template @ a certain distance apart that should be what I need to drill in the track. So is that space between the holes the PITCH ?? I have 11 teeth on my sprocket. OH well.... back to school to learn something new...
A bewildered OT.
sandybay:
Pitch diameter is a term used to take measurements of the diameter of a gear or a screw using pitch points. Pitch points on a gear could be found if a straight line were drawn up from two of the gear's teeth located side by side and the two lines were connected by a curve. In the case of a gear or sprocket, pitch basically measures the distance between teeth.
any better?

Then overlap them when bolting back together. cost about $200.00 per 2 pieces last time I did it.

If you overlapped the track which people down here have done, they say you will have a thump every time the track turns around. I can buy the proper joiners & track material here. I have a set of plug hole cutters. All I need to know is how far to space the holes so I can make up a jig to keep it all in line.........I think ??? ???
OT.
sandybay:
Mine are spaced 3.750" apart in length, best way to check is to measure the distance between 10 cleats divide by 10 measure 15, divide by 15 and so on. Should all be the same answer.
sandybay:
I have heard that if you over lap that would happen. But my c18 has both sides like that and does not seem to. But the joiner that you have sounds good.
