Re: Waterjet accuracy?

If you look at the detailed dimensions of a AM or Vex gear box, they typically run + 0.003" to .0005" large between spur gears. In terms of reaming, we use a 1.125 as that's what's available.

This year we waterjet cut the entire structure of our robot. Accuracy would depend on the actual machine and it mechanical construction. It would make excellent gearbox plates.
