Re: Machining precision required to make custom gearboxes

If you don't have a CNC or a manual mill, you can do this manually. With the typical FRC gears and a simple gear box. you can lay out and drill holes using a machinist scale, scribe, prick punch, a drill press, and a little OCCD. Clamp & drill the side plates together. This takes a lot of care, but is very doable.
