Machine shop quoted $35 for the work and I can pick it up at 11:00 AM tomorrow. I will have to call them back and tell them 6mm deep and to countersink the screw holes on the non milled side.

I am having machine shop drill & tap the pinion also. My last attempt at tapping didn't go well...although I think that the piece was already hardned and that is why it didn't work.

He also agreed that I should harden at least the pinion. I will probably do both though. He recomended oil instead of water to quench in.
