Hello,
For a while now I have been thinking about cutting gears on my vertical milling machine
I used to cut them indexing each tooth with a formed cutter but hobbing seems very attractive, a job came recently needing 64t 32dp for a speedometer but the price of the cutter plus my time becomes excessive.
I have been looking at old posts on the forum regarding the unit John Stevenson made from the article in MEW108 (I have a copy) I would like to make this, John said there were errors in the article.
Has anyone made this if so any help would be appreciated
Best regards
John
