Hi Bertie following this posting I trolled through my "Filed Away For Future Action" and found this file on "worm wheel hobbing" This may be of some use as it is a very detailed commentary on cutting wormwheels on a small lathe. A quick read through it and it can be translated into using a tap for the hobbing tool. Forwarded as a plain text file this loses some of the original format. Hope this helps a little more Eric |

well gave things another go this evening, made it a bit smaller this time and gashed it deeper, stuck it in the mill. and . . . . got 73! skimmed it a bit and re-cut the slots for 72, tried again but no joy |

Velocette, your hobbing text is certainly comprehensive. If anyone is having trouble reading it and wants to make it clearer, and has Microsoft Office, then copy and paste into a new Word document, it's a damn sight easier to read. |
