Anyone know where I can get some 8,9 or 10 tooth sprockets for # 25 chain W/a 5mm shaft size??
Thanks!

Without looking, do they make sprockets that small? I thought 12T is about all the smaller in any pitch is recommended.

The smallest I have ever been able to find is 14 tooth sprockets, from Servocity, and you will need a hub to match the 5mm shaft you want to mount it to.

Or if you bore out a sprocket meant for a 3/16 shaft, you could get a 12 tooth, but you are on your own for mounting it, and it would probably have to be pinned to the shaft.

Here are the hubs I used for my 14 tooth sprocket.

McMaster-Carr & Robot Marketplace both have 9T & 10T. Grainger has 10T. Smallest bore available through any of these is 1/4"

Yea, those are what I have now.A ten tooth is almost to big in dia for where it has to go.
