If you heat treat after machining you could possibly warp the gears.

Always appreciate good info d-a. That is a very good idea (to use Al. first when doing R&D) as well as the heat treating. I will keep that in mind.

What I would basically like to attempt is to create a high gear ratio'ed, large spinning reel like the Stella 10000 or other Daiwa spinners....and not having to buy an Okuma VS
Either way, if I did follow through with this project I would create a gear set that could be swapped in and out with the stock gear ratio so that I could always reverse my actions
Plus, if it's for free, I might as well test my mechanical engineering friends (the machinists) and see if they've earned their undergrad degrees or not lol.
