I'm under the opposite impression. I thought the  -3 referred to the 
diviation from the nominal pitch diameter in hundredths  of a mm. That 
would make the + gears larger than nominal and the - gears  smaller 
than nominal.




Jim, I believe you're right, and I had it backwards. I was thinking of the  
+ gears, not the - gears. In Dave's case, he needs to stay with the - gear, 
as a  "0" gear would be too tight.
