Re: Custom Gearbox Without Automated Machining?
Is it possible? Yes, especially if you have a machinist that understands backlash in the handwheels and a mill that's been taken care of.
Is it the best use of your resources? Color me skeptical. Unless you have a very specific need, finding a COTS option would likely be better use of your finite time and machine access during build season. Making a gearbox plate manually is time consuming, and there's a noteworthy chance that you'll have to correct mistakes in the initial attempt (or even start over from scratch).
