Tooth Form

A Knurled Tooth is V-shaped and the depth of the tooth is less than the depth of a theoretical V-form. The tooth has a rounded root and crest. The relationship between the actual depth of tooth to the theoretical V varies with the pitch of the teeth. On finer pitches, the tooth is a smaller proportion of the theoretical V-depth then coarser pitches. Also, female diamond patterns have shallower tooth depth than male diamond patterns.
