Yep... As Asid61 said, it's a clearance issue for us. Keeps it simple.

The Bevel gears are just standard Martin Gears off of McMaster. We cut the hubs off of them and broached a 1/2" hex bore in them. Put the whole assembly on some polycarb to be flexible going over the scoring platform or when we run into stuff. Seems to be holding up well so far.
