question......... very urgent...

[for_fun08]

I have a question posting here, pls help me to solve it....

If a milling machine were not available, a replacement chain sprocket
for the bicycle, which has 20- teeth equi-spaced ( R5 eac), could be
produced using a centre-lathe and drilling machine.

(a) List the machining operations necessary to produce the sprocket from
a suitable piece of steel plate.
(b) Explain any method by which the sprocket-tooth could be accurately
divided using the centre-lathe.

Thank.........

So what the hell is so urgent about this? I could tell you exactly how to
do it several different ways ... but not if you're going to troll.

Making it is only 1/2 the gig. You would have to properly heat-treat
the material after fabrication. In my opinon it would be better to
make this part as a forging due to the stress on the part. I don't
think I would trust a welded stamping eithe without heat-treatingr.
What I don't get is - the sprocket isn't a big deal - so why re-invent
the wheel (pardon the pun)?
