I am planning on making some gears out of brass for my school project.
I have found a place that sells plate brass 260.
I plant on buying ~9mm thick slab of brass to make gears that are about 100mm and 50mm in diameter.
Would I be able to cut gears out of this brass with a CNC machine? Or should I use something else such as a Band Saw?
Would I also need to protect the brass from corrosion somehow?
This is the stuff I am getting:
