I'm thinking gear hobs or single cutters.
I have been thinking of making gear hobs this way for a while. What
holds me back is that I am not sure that I know how to heat treat the
hob to a state that will cut the materials that I want to make gears
out of.

Heat treating D2 is not a problem here and would work well if a little slower than M2 high speed. A higher temp furnace is in the plans. I keep some D2 on hand.

I am being pushed by a couple customers to get my horizontal/hobbing machine finished and that will be able to do this kind of work. Soon I will be paging Andy to help with the setup. :-)
