Looks way overbuilt to me .. gear is heavy enough as is. That one looks 50% heavier! |

If you use that gear, I recommend that you frequently inspect the 1” tube area by the axles. That cannot be as strong as 1.25 by .313 wall. Cubes |

Dan... The plans-designed gear is already plenty stiff. What you have there is going to be worse. You really don’t want that. D |
