Hello all,
What is the best steel choice for making gears? I am thinking 8620 but now have told by a few people that 3310 or 9310 may be a better choice????
I need to make five gears in total. Three will be driving the camshafts off the crank and the other two gears will be in a transmission. The original gears were made in 1929 and I am guessing the steels I am considering using did not even exist back then.
Thanks,
Bruce
