A chance conversation turned into a very generous offer to sell me a used Swiss made Mikron 79 gear hobbing machine. Today it arrived and I am starting to work through the manual.

I am curious if I am the only person in the country that owns one of these?

Is there anyone out there that has worked with this machine?

I will post more pictures once I get it into the basement and un-crated.

Cool score, Omni! My eyes start to glaze over reading about gearing in Machinery's Handbook, and I consider myself a geek. I will bet you will get if figured out without too many problems...
 
I have a Mikron 132 that I have been tinkering with. I don't know a lot about gear hobbing, but I have succesfully hobbed gears on my 132. Let me know if i can help. I think I have a 79 brochure and may have a manual. I will look and see.
I have a partial set of change gears for the 79, they do not fit the 132. Maybe we could trade or something. Do you have the feed gears? How about hobs?
