Go to Post Wisdom is knowing the difference between "the way to do things" and "the right way to do things." Just because an action may be physically possible does not mean that it is smart to do. - dlavery [more]

Could you elaborate as to the methods used to help eliminate kerf? We tried cutting extra slow, but it didn't seem to help much. If you can cut propper bearing press fit holes with a waterjet using proper methods, to seems like cutting gears of at relatively large module would be trivial.
You could just cut .125 plates and stack the gears. That would help quite a bit. Most places that we've used for work just compensate for the kerf via rotating head.
