Further to a project I mentioned ealier am looking to have made, or to make a large sprocket to go around the outside drum (cylinder if you like) and wonder, can anyone help me with a supplier of such a big thing, or should I resort to fabricating teeth and heat treating them for hardness afterwards?
P.S. the drum is 500mm O/D ms.
Thanks in advance.
Just a quick (and maybe useless or stupid) idea: How about fixing a chain around to the drum, and drive that through a sprocket?

If the sprocket is sufficiently large you can probably do without heat treating as the load will be spread over a large number of teeth.
