Re: Aluminum sprockets for drive train - several questions

I've worked on several drivetrains based on AndyMark's plate sprockets (both #25 and #35). So far have never had an issue with wear or failure. If you run the numbers, the size of the sprockets in a usual dead axle drive and the usual torques in such a drive show they are plenty fine; and if they aren't, just bump up to a larger sprocket until they are. I love them so much that all dead axle drives I work with are designed to specifically interface with the plate sprockets stock.

We've only had one issue, and that was a set of #25 with slightly misshaped teeth (Andy said because of feedrates). We mentioned it, and they were very promptly replaced.
