Ha, those Dewalt gears are already really hard. A local machinist who helped us would not even use his carbide tooling on them- he ran them through a wire EDM- as Dr. Joe suggested. The whole box is made of hard, hard,
hard powdered metal. Actually, if all the tolerances on the input gears are as good as the real drill (which I'm sure they are with 118), I would feel moderately safe with four motors. But six? Not real keen on that one, but we'll see I guess! I think they probably know what they're doing!
