It’s worth considering hobbing, in theory it makes better gears and jobs are fairly cheap on eBay, compared to a full set of involute cutters. To cut helical gears (regardless of spindle orientation) you need to move A in proportion to X. If you have enough control of A to do that you might as well link it to the spindle encoder. It’s a few lines of HAL code. A tilting dividing head (like the BS0 pattern) could be used with a fixed vertical spindle and coordinated XZA moves and an involute cutter, though. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
