But in reality, this is powering our centripetal arm, and it would be nice to use the sprockets to gear down the motor instead of a gearbox to equal sized sprockets. I already have the second gear made (60 tooth with machined holes to mount on the arm spot done by our machine shop)

I do like the shaft diameter option though!! I'll look into that tomorrow!
Nice. You can try Andymark, if you haven't already, or McMaster Carr. They both have great hardware, and just about anything you'll need can be found at McMaster.
