I don't think Kenny is worried about heat on his input shaft. He just wants
the gear off of it to make a good clutch tool. His concern was that his
bandsaw might not want to cut the hardened metal. He will do just find with
an abrasive disk. Personally I think the gears make a great handle... ;-)

Why not just use some type of metalworking fluid as
coolant?

I think your original advice to go to a machine shop
is the best.

Cutting with even a thin abrasive disk is going to
cause a heat effected zone at the face of the cut at
the very minimum.
