I have a single tooth rack form carbide cutter...I feel this should be relatively simple to code as a generic x module x teeth 4 axis. Hand grinding the rack form on flycutters will be easy enough and you can run the gear pairs in after making. The cycle time to make is going to be a bit slow though hobbing will always win there and hobbing cutters are pretty cheap for certain sizes we just need to convince EMC about geared spindles to match a real machine.
