That in both an eb48 be sct410, though the same should apply here.
Give it a shot, make it as tight as you can without having a spot in the rotation with no play/chatter at all.
My oponion is that Tekno pinions the best. Good hard steel, easy to read tooth count while still installed, large setscrew.
