i think a cnc machine could do the job
Of course it could, but it would take some specialized
cutters to cut the gear teeth. These cutters are
extremely expensive, on the order of $80 each.
Any machine shop would charge you close to 1000 dollars
just in setup and tooling charges.
Those setup and tooling charges are why I brought all
my machining back in-house. In my prototype work, I do
a lot of one-off jobs, and the outside shop charges were
killing me.
