Thanks mate, I used a sey up similar to that before but decided to go with the cogs instead.

Great work, I really love this series and can't wait for the next ones!!

Quick question, though. Why did you cut both the pipe and the rod into the right size for the teeth? It seems like you could have used a rod that was the same outside diameter as the pipe, and then made up maybe a jig that held the rods in place as you welded them in?

[Gizmo4t]

Good question mate,

The reason that I used the pipe is that it is harder than rod and thus gives better ware protection.

I could see a very easy way of making these cogs of simply getting rather thick steel plate then going to a machining shop to CNC them out of the steel. Rather then going through this huge process of welding and making flanges.

WOW, such a great idea!

If i ever need cogs i'll just do what you did.

5 stars!

Dave,

I just joined your forum...this is great.

I concur with your decision, I am a owner/proprietor of CSR WeldFab here in East Texas and we call it 'Wear Pads'..lol

I will save questions for the forum.
