Great job!!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Any hints or tips to share?

Dunno, it was pretty straightforward, just a bit tedious. Using the CNC
mill in conjunction with the manual indexing worked well since it got me
flood coolant as well as eliminating the manual work of cutting each
tooth. Being able to manually index the dividing head, then press cycle
start and not have to do anything for a minute was nice. Of course since
the change gears are all different tooth counts, nothing was the same, I
had to turn each blank to the appropriate diameter for it's tooth count,
change the dividing head setup for each gear, and reset the Y zero for
each new gear blank.
