Even so, I cannot recommend this practice. While you can get it to work, it is less than ideal.

If you think you need to mate to that .7 module gear, just buy a few in the off season from PIC-Design or have gears wire burned during the season. Either way, your gearboxes will thank you.

Joe J.

The reason that we went with this method is that we didnt know what size gear we would need, and didnt know that we were going to even be making gearboxes when the season started. We dont have enough money to have an assortment of gears on the shelf to make the gearbox how we need it. We never ran into any trouble with the gear boxes, they seemed to work pretty well. I would much rather use a .7 mod gear for effciencey. But then again using the run in gears makes the gearboxes have this awesome sound. Attached is a clip of the first stages of our run in procedure. Ill post the steps we took in a future post or a white paper.


Joe, how long does it normally take to get gears Wire EDM burned?
