The bevel gears on Mcmaster-carr are Martin but they have a limited selection so we bought ours through Motion Industries.
But yeah they're all pretty expensive...
Joey,

Thanks so much for the info! I hadn't found the Martin company; I've ordered the a Martin set: 3:1, 16P, steel/CA to test. I found them on Amazon where I've have had excellent shipping service. I use Amazon Prime and all Prime orders are free (with subscription) and guaranteed delivery dates usually within 2 days.
