Looking for a keyed sprocket
So, I'm looking for a specific part, but I haven't had any luck finding it. What I need is a #35, 10 tooth sprocket, with a 3/8" bore and a keyway. I don't have a broach to cut a keyway in the sprocket, so I would like to find one with a keyway pre-cut. That being said, I've checked everywhere (Mc-Master, SDP-SI, MSC, Grainger, Small Parts, Motion, and a few others), and I haven't been able to find one.

If you know where to find one, please let me know. Alternatively, if you know of a good way to cut a keyway in a steel sprocket with basic shop resources (manual mill & lathe, a small arbor press - basic HS metal shop tools) or something I could buy relatively inexpensively, that works, too. Thanks!
