Taking out the 2nd last tooth allows for some room for error if (under excessive high ROF) your gears begin their second cycle before the piston is returned to battery from it's first cycle... I'm sure you can imagine what happens when a forwards-moving piston meets backwards-turning steel HS gears moving at 30 revolutions per second - it's strips out ALL the piston teeth, and usually rips the end off the piston.
