I'm not sure if we have access to water cutting, and if so how easily they'd let us use it. That's a great thought though, I'll have to look into it. So that I don't sound like a babbling fool (hard to achieve) what would I call the machinery? Water-Cut-O-Matic 5000? That'd be great. In other words, will they understand when I say water cutting? Thanks
1/8" would be just fine I believe. All that is needed is to put it on a lathe and add a small pitch, right? We did this with sprockets we had made last year.
Incase last year's sprockets make you wonder: they were ANSI 35 for starters and we had the kits drawings I believe. Also, it was done as a last minute favor by a large machine shop on campus and if I'm not mistaken, they did it all by hand (i.e. not water cutting or CNC Milling). It took them over a week working full time to make 5 sprockets, so I'd really like to be more efficient
