From:

OD x NDP = 2 + Teeth/(cos(HA))

I calculate these possibilities:

NDP = 9.6618
NCP = pi/NDP = 0.32515
Module = 25.4/NDP = 2.629

Depending on the gear's original design, it could have been enlarged in OD to improve the profile. If we assume enlargement by 1 tooth, the previous formula becomes:

OD x NDP = 3 + Teeth/(cos(HA))

and:

NDP = 9.988

Coincidence? Maybe, but is close enough to 10 NDP to try rolling a 10 NDP cutter (or gage) to see how smooth the roll is.

You also should check your estimates of HA, OD, etc. You may need to adjust one or more (are you sure HA=25?) and recalculate.
