I too cringe when I hear folks using 32 DP gears with .7 module gears, but it is hard to argue with success. Apparently many teams do it (can the TechnoKats, WildStang and SPAM all be wrong? -- well, yes, but... ...how wrong can they be?).

Here is what I recommend, get the gears from PIC or have them burned from a wire EDM source (Lou Odin at Capital Tool & Die is a Detroit area source we use a lot -- he takes credit cards and will ship anywhere -- PM me if you want contact info). Failing that, press the gear off and press on whatever gear you can get easily. We've found the 5mm shaft is pretty easy to work with.
