Yeah.. We didn't really think of rounding.. That'd might've helped.
At any rate, does anyone know to what extent the rounding will help? Because if teeth still manage to hit each other on their sides, eating of the gears can still happen. And if one rounds too much, the teeth won't get enough grip on each other. What teams out there did round their gears and what was your experience doing this?
As for the spares.. We welded the gears onto the shafts.. Didn't really think of that, either
