Seeing what you're creating from the use of a waterjet table vs the usual cnc works is quite amazing! What's the ballpark $figure for such a tool?

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 !!

Well almost done, eh? Weld up the box, give it a coat of paint & you're off to the races!

Lucky you! my combine costs nearly triple that, but I don't get to use it for my hobby too.
