Re: Can this be turned on a lathe?

Well, the gear is a steel Martin gear. As for it being hardened, I have no idea. All I know is that it was not too hard to drill. It needs to be turned down to fit in our gearbox. If we don't turn it down, we would have to face the hub off to like .125 (which would make it fit in our gearbox) but we'd rather leave the width of the hub since we were concerned about it wobbling on the shaft. It is a 60T 20P gear and having it only .625 wide total might make it want to wobble up near the teeth. We are having a pretty tight fit on the shaft but still the more width you have the more guarantee that it is straight.

Can someone provide a little more specific answer as to whether or not we can turn this?

Also, if we cannot lathe it, how hard would it be to have it go around a mill bit in the CNC mill in a "circular spiral" pattern until the correct diameter is reached?
