Norman, I have all sorts of B&S cutter sets but not 20 DP  :bang:

HOWEVER I do have  20 DP hob as per pictures. 3/4 bore weighs 400 grams
awemawson:
OK a bit more trawling through the hob drawers !

Turns out that I have two of the above hobs AND:

A nice little 10 mm bore one that I used to use with my Mikron gear hobber (which is for sale at £1000 if anyone wants it - needs a clean up as been in storage for 10 years)

This little one weighs in a 75 grams  :thumbup:
eskoilola:
How is that sort of gear tool used ?
Does it not need the gear rotation to be synchronized with the tool rotation ?
Is it self synchronizing - so as You start it it will automagically (somehow) catch the startpoint on correct phase?

I have seen many videos on people using thread cutter to make gear but nobody shows the very first round around - and nobody certainly shows how it goes all wrong.

And Yes - I know a lot more about datawarehousing than machining. That is the reason I am here - it is fachinating  :med:

In this case one thousand words had more information than one hour of tiresome hobbing videos.

Thanks !
