Hi Everybody
I need to make a synchronous belt sprocket 14mm pitch . A formed cutter would be nice and I can get one ground but the cost to use ratio is hard to justify.
Can the operation be done using a fly cutter with a square HSS toolbit ground to profile and get a good job. This question does not include ability or equipment. The job needs to be spot on so I don't damage the belt.
I am making a drive reduction for a bush buggy that will be used in the middle of nowhere (HEARST , ONTARIO) where a guy doen't need to get stranded and leave his machine.
Thanks ED
PS I'm cheap because it is amazing how these projects add up quickly to the point where a used machine would be cheaper.
