Need some help on this one...
I am rewriting the program to qualify a gage used to check gears. The old gage had a large diameter ring that fit into the gear to locate it. the new one uses several pins around the diameter to locate it. I have measured the pins and constructed the circle, but I cannot figure out how to report the outside diameter. The constructed circle reports the diameter of the circle created through the centers of the circles.
Example.
Old gage had a large ring 158.15mm in diameter.
New gage has 4 pins in a circle, each 6.35mm in diameter. The constructed circle reports roughly 151.8mm. I need the diameter of the circle created from the outside of the pins (the smallest hole that would fit over the pins).
Any ideas?
