Re: gear mod

Personally, I think the 32 pitch and .7 mod meshing is awsome. In the sense that, if someone can do it well, more power to them. They have learned what few can do, defy engineering rules. We gotta get together and talk about how to send a banana back in time

haha sorry for the randomness.. onto real suffs.
I would buy .7 mod gears off PIC design, you can get them in steel with a .1875" face width up to about 128 teeth. I have bought a lot of gears off PIC, and I always get them in EXACLY 14 days. Very strange...

By the way, wire EDM shops have gotten very cheap. While I would never get gears done there, (you can always buy better ones) I always go to EDM to get precision work done. I am working on a 3 speed shifter, and I got the intricate shifter cut into the gears for VERY cheap. 12 gears total (I made a spare set) for about 200 bucks. It was really cheap because it was the same cut. The guy even offered to harden them before they were cut for 50 bucks. Of course I could not resist.
