Re: Where to purchase internal gears?
I'm not exactly sure of what I want, I was just trying to get an idea of what is available. So, let me ask a few questions.

Can brass be hardened? Also, can two gears accurately be "stacked" to essentially become one wider gear? If so, how?

Last, are there any off the shelf planetaries besides "speed reducers" and drill gearboxes (and AndyMark ones)?
