Re: Lasercutting Spur Gears?

The taper exists as a pickup or lead-in. Its job is to keep the edges of the sproket from coming into contact with the edges of the chain. Idealy, the only contact you want between a chain and a sprocket is with the chain rollers.

The taper allows us to build robots with misaligned sprockets!

A lot goes into the design of a sprocket. You’re probably best off buying one (unless making one means you’ll get to play with an expensive cutting machine ). The taper should be easy to cut on a lath.
