rim sprockets

[artwood]

I have a customer looking for a 10-12 tooth .325 pitch sprocket. Anybody know a distributor having such an animal or something close? - Eric

Welcome to the list artwood. Can't help you with the sprockets. Just visited your web site. You have some very impressive work displayed there.

I typed this a while ago with alot more enthusiasm, but my computer lost connection before I posted....bummer... Anyway, like I said before. I run a 3-d modeling software called Pro_e for my living. I design plastic parts for Maytag Appliances. Molding shops use my databases to set up there tool paths for CNC and etc. Was reading a thread the other evening and several members were posting their experience with castings and molding operations. ????, I hope I don't lose a connection now... What I'm saying, again, is why not produce after market parts for desirable old saws. Lets start with sprokets. Make a hub and a sprocket, weld them together. Jugs and pistons? Send me a part, I'll model them up. In the plastic world, we usually make a "prototype" tooling early on. Good for a few thousand parts. This tooling is usually made out of aluminum. Might work for sprokets, don't think I would use it for pistons or cylinders. With all the good machinests around, it wouldn,t take alot to make up some engine molds? Jeez, Mike...have another drink Y'all think about it

Sounds like a slick idea. Let us know if anyone takes you up on the offer.

I see 200cc cast-iron 111S jugs in the future...

Ask my Dad

My Dad, bless him has a foundry in his garage. If you need one made and it is a casting he can do it. It makes "stuff" all the time just to keep himself busy. Email me at [email protected] if you want to contact him.
