One of my main concerns is actually having our waterjet sponsor cut teeth that small (I've been contemplating turrets lately). Was it relatively easy for your sponsor to do or was there anything special you had to do to the gear design to make it easier to manufacture? I'm guessing going to 0.125" aluminum made it easier, but is that enough?

I'm curious about this as well. Not just turrets, but any gear tooth profile like you used for the hood. I know y'all have a laser but would a waterjet be able to do 20DP gears?
