Hi everyone.
A Happy Easter to you all, and to your families.
Some time ago, I think in Model Engineering Workshop (or perhaps in ME) there
was a short series on gear-cutting with a hob. I have tried to use Colin
Usher's helpful index, but am very stupid when it comes to Zip, spreadsheets
etc - put it down to my great age! If any of you have a ready access to this
index, please give me the numbers of the MEW magazines which contain this
information.
Arc Euro have a Module 1 hob at a modest price (modest, when compared to a set
of cutters!) and I have acquired a number of Module 1 change wheels, which
would suit my little lathe now under construction. If I was able to use the
hob, I could complete the set. I have never used one, or seen one in action,
and I hope that this article will reveal all. My existing ancient textbooks
only refer to using the usual 8 involute gear cutters.
Thanks for your kind help.
Cheers! Hubert
