Hi all,

a current project calls for a simple low-speed gearbox using involute
gears, made of 3 - 4mm acrylic or polycarbonate. It's not meant to
function at the full speed of the eventual device, but as a slow-motion
display / representation. It *has* to be waterclear material

The largest is 80mm diameter, with 80 teeth, the smallest is 20mm with
20 teeth, so the width of each tooth is pi mm. The teeth don't have to be
rxact involute, as long as they mesh reliably

The reply just now to asking for a quote (http://www.laserstream.co.nz/)

"Unfortunately we are unable to help in this instance as we would be
unable to get the detail required"

That seems whack to me, considering the resolution mentioned here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_jet_cutter

Anyone here had something similar or better cut ? Or am I expecting
too much ?

TIA

Joe
