SlowMoe Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yep, that's correct. The gears are hardened so keep that in mind if you want to do it yourself. Make sure you keep them cool as you cut/grind on them. Most professional shops that do this will use carbide bits in an end-mill and a rotary table, and will do the cutting with coolant/lubricant flowing onto the gear while its being cut. Thanks alot man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I use a bridgport mill and a rotary table,now i like doing everything myself but it is time consuming.I have 6 trannies in curculation now with very good results on 90+ hp bikes as well as 60hp bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMoe Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Well I bought some diamond point grinding bits with a high speed rotary tool. Wish me luck! Edited February 21, 2011 by SlowMoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well I bought some diamond point grinding bits with a high speed rotary tool. Wish me luck! abrasives seem to work the best on hardened steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowMoe Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Alrighty then.About 10 to 15 minutes per gear with the cut off tool shown. Just need to touch things up and remove the stress risers. Some of my progress: Edited February 22, 2011 by SlowMoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 hell yea man.. i used the same type cutoff wheel except it was for a dremel... i think they are a tad smaller so it was easier to get in there and cut without cutting where i didnt wanna cut.. as long as there are no places with material left to make contact you are good to go.. looking good..

TheBigShabowski Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 looks like a mod worth doing the only thing i didnt catch was how many are there to cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
