That is fairly cool, and might be a good solution for bevels. But hobbing isn't particularly difficult with a CNC machine, all it requires is a tilting head or a horizontal spindle. And a spindle encoder, but there are many simple ways to add that. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
