copy a foreign clock and I'm waiting to get contacted back with info about
the number of teeth for every gear.

Lego gears only have 8, 16, 24, or 40 teeth.  I can't remember off of the

Does anybody know what companies I can buy custom-cut plastic gears from
that will mesh with Lego gears?

(...) One problem is that changing teeth number also change gear diameter... and you will run into some troubles with LEGO grids. Philo (16 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics)
