Oh boy.. do I have something for you.

As part of the FIRST college course that I taught this semester, I have some rather comprehensize data on combining both the chips and drills... from a number crunching standpoint, it's very complete.

There aren't any sprocket sizes, CAD drawings, or the like.. but theory wise.. this is (fundamentally) very strong material. I will be publishing a white paper along these lines soon on www.boilerinvasion.org.

Here's the PowerPoint. If you have questions, please ask. If someone has corrections, comments, or concerns, please ask.
