If I were to make thesegears, I would create a slide box to fit the
rails. Then I would mount a saw to the box. The teeth are not a
straight in, square cut so by offsetting the saw off center, you would
be able to make the keystone type cut on the left and then move the saw
to the other side to do the right. Then use a router to clean out the
center. Of course in my world, I never make just one. For just a
couple, this may be more work than necessary. Just make sure the teeth
sides are tapered. Offsetting left then right is the way to accomplish
this. If you just use a V-bit, it will be easy for the teeth to jump.
Also make sure that the gear is nested between two waste boards to
eliminate chipping.

I had the same basic thought of stacking the disks- (baltic
birch plywood to be stable & teeth won't snap off as easy as solid
wood) to make gears and using the Legacy indexing or expanded indexing
plate to space the teeth and then cutting them all at the same
time using a V type router bit.
For pulleys, I think the Legacy would be the perfect machine for
making them

You could use Mike's indexing concept, Set up a number of disks and
cutt them in a row,as if you were roping a part. If you set the
correct pitch,after seperating the gears, my guess would be that you
would have a number of gears that all meshed together correctly. it
might work?
Good luck on this idea, and Please send pictures as soon as you can.
As for myself, I will stick with pulleys, thay are easer to make and
much less of a head ache to figure out. ;-)
