Right Ether,
The goal is to find a CAD-only design procedure as accurate as the mathematical approach you presented.

Right now the problem is to create a parabolic contour using basic CAD tools only.

I was thinking on slicing a cone instead of a cylinder to get the right profile for the roller.

But at this point, Ether Calculator is really accurate and the roller CAD from the raw data on the XY.txt file generated follows the circular shape perfectly. I tested the calculator data on SolidWorks 2008. So far so good.

Hector.
