Compound Gear 2 (79T Large / 14T Small)
Compound Gear 3 (45T Large / 12T Small)
Final Gear (38T Large) Connected as a Compound Gear to the Spindle

19T/72T x 20770 = 6008.75RPM
25T/79T x 6008.75 = 1901.50RPM
14T/45T X 1901.50RPM = 591.58RPM
12T/38T X 591.58 = 186.82RPM AT THE DRIVEN SPINDLE.
With these numbers and the addition of efficiency calculated in, I came up with a few more specs.

95% X 3 stages + 90% X one stage with funky bearings = 77% efficiency.
34.4 Ft. Lbs of usable torque, or, 47.7 N m.
