If your friends have some scrap aluminum have them make you a set out of it first to see if it will work. The program can be saved. AL machines faster and has less wear and tear on the equipment. If it works have them make them out of SS. 316 would work but you would need to heat treat it before machining. Of course your buddies should already know that. If you heat treat after machining you could possibly warp the gears.
