A gear hob needs to feed the gear across the hob at the hob lead angle. This makes many machines unsuitable. My milling machine has a swinging table which makes it easy. It would be possible to achieve the same thing with CNC using combined XY moves and the work squiffy on the table. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
