For gear spacings, you might try:

That *can't* be right. The tolerable error for two 40t gears is no
different from the error for two 8t gears - so it's certainly NOT a
percentage of the distance between axle centers.
I checked this quite carefully and I believe that an error of one
tenth of a 'stud' either side of the ideal distance is tolerable.
Hence having your table round to the nearest quarter of a stud makes
them useful than they could be for this kind of thing.
That's why my gear meshing tables simply list all possible combinations
(there really aren't all that many)....although I didn't test for half-stud
horizontal spacings (I'll add that the next time I re-do it).
You mention a "new 12t gear" - I've never seen one of those - but since
I generated my gear tables with a computer program it wouldn't be at
all difficult to add it. Which set(s) have this new part?

| (...) Thanks for the link to your gear spacing site. That is sort of what I was looking for though in my chart I aimed at being more general then just a list of workable gear spacing. My diagonal measurements can also be used to find workable beam (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
