If you have a BS1 with morterized index, you not want to hob gears but cut one tooth, rotate the gear and then cut the next. You need a set of gear cutters for the size gear. I has looking to buy some. They are a little expensive so it is best to pick one or two size gears and then make everything for all you projects that size.
Here is a set like the type I might buy. This is a good size for most of the parts I'd want to make ebay.com/itm/Involute-Gear-cutter-set-M-0-5-pa-20-HSS... <https://www.ebay.com/itm/Involute-Gear-cutter-set-M-0-5-pa-20-HSS-module-M0-5-N1-N8/324281326460?hash=item4b80ac5b7c:g:OjEAAOSwRrVfT4wx> For some reason, so many of these seem to come from Russia The trouble with being a job-shop and making any random gear some one might need is that you'd need 20 of these sets and find that it is just cheaper to buy a premade gear and modify it. One set will allow you to make gears of a given module (or pitch if using the American system) and one pressure angle in any size from smallest possible to straight rack. If yu have need to make many 0.5 mod gears the above-linked set is a good deal.
