Re: Lasercutting Spur Gears?

quick note aobut water-jet cutting... the last time i had something water-cut, the jet spray expanded the further it went, so we ended up with a non-perpendicular edge (if only barely, but it was noticable, and it was only 1/4 inch thick.)

so i don't think water-jet cutting would be the best for sprockets, considering they have to mesh. laser might work, but water definitely won't.
