If the 55 tooth gear is 114mm outside diameter the M2 might mean 2 Module - which is the size of the teeth.

 :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: I don't get you !

Do you mean that IF I should make a new or extra set of change gears I would have to use the M2 gear cutters or ... ?

You asked what M2 might mean. I was guessing it may be 2 Module and was giving you a method of checking.

The OD of a gear is (n + 2) * Module (where n = number of teeth). So for a 55 tooth gear the OD = (55 + 2) * Module and if the Module is 2mm then the OD would be 114mm. You would need a 2 Module gear cutter (or set of cutters) if you were to make more.
 
I guess the term you may be looking for for "multi-keywayed" might be "splined".

OK, thx I thought it has to do with the threads - making new sets of change gears will have to wait a while :(

Yes, I do understand, I would expect it the first one written down to be the driver and the second to be driven as you suggest.  If you used one that was 30:55 then if they were the wrong way round the error would be huge and easy to see.

Yeah, that's right, but it's not that easy to "see" the difference between a pitch 1,75mm and 2mm without doing a light cut and measure - let's say 10 of them.

I'll try to take a Picture of that table - maybe you can see the pattern in the notation.
RussellT:
Well you could save stock and make it easier to test a lot by putting a fine marker pen or a pencil in the tool post and cleaning off between trials, or if you stuck a piece of paper on a piece of stock you would have a record for each setting you tried.

Yes, please try and post a picture of the table.

Russell
