We bought the machine used, it is a 1993 model that we got for $17000 with all the parts and tools. The machine is only used for FRC and other projects that alumni are working on. The involute cutters that we got are 14 and 1/2 degree pressure angle with a diametrical pitch of 20. For this particular gear we used the fourth involute cutter. Here is a link for the one that we purchased.
