Looks like very patient work with a dremel.

Perhaps a jewelers saw and then a dremel to finish.

Water Jet Cutting

Definitely done by hand, as the cuts aren't *exactly* straight.

I'll ask the owner.

Please do ask because I've been wanting to try this. I run open belts now.

I've got 2 sets of covers so I can afford to f**k up customize one of them.

Owner said he drilled *lots* of holes, used a dremel and a file to finish.

Sounded like it took a long time, I'd believe it.

crazy "good" "hand" work done on the cover.  I used a dremel on my front sprocket cover to cut the slots open.  I can't even get the 3-5 inch cut straight....
