There isn't a percentage of work required to be labeled CNC, if any work what so ever is done by a CNC machine, they are CNC'd.

Also should be noted, it's a gimmick term to get geeks all hyped up. Nobody in industry ever refers to anything as being "CNC'd".
that's what I'm saying. If you are expecting gears to be cut from a single piece of high quality billet, then the only true 'cnc' gears are riots.

The rest have varying degrees of computer machined involvement in terms of cutting the actual gears rather than being formed from heated powder mixtures and cut from less than perfect stock.
