777 looks great so far
The waterjet does a great job cutting "straight" gear teeth profiles , all the gears I have cut have been used "as is" after cutting on the table short of doing some filing, but if you needed a high precision gear it would be best to cut the gear blank slightly bigger and then use the proper gear cutter to finish it...

Thanks !!
