I think this is the file you want. It is a .250 end mill. 13 tooth spur, 3.812 dia. 4DP and 14 pressure angle.

Soon will send pictures of projects and gears I will be making. Thank you

I have a Tormach 1100, I did a test cut of a sprocket, worked perfect. When I went to load a new sprocket, it wont load, just blank, if
