Thanks for all the input. I was just curious since we have lasercutting companies as sponsors who are willing to make stuff for us. The gear I was referring too would be the PIC 0.7 module one that takes so long to get.

As for wire EDM, I know there's got to be a place within 20 miles (Sun Valley is like the industrial capital of the western United States). I just checked and there is a place in Chatsworth. I have know idea how much such a thing costs. I'm guessing the increased cost of a custom gear would not be favorable over the 4-7 week waiting period of the PIC gear. Has ever had a gear cut who could tell me how much? Thanks.
