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 MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
