Cutting gears with a simple hob

[David Kirtley]

Pfffth. Try the 12 hour "Make a Milling Machine" marathon.

I also bought the Jose Rodriguez DVD from LMS and the information in it is pretty good. Nothing against Jose, but he does have a bit of a monotone voice, so if you sit down to watch it at the end of a long hard day, you might find yourself missing most of it. There are some charts that come along with the DVD also, and it certainly looks like a good method to try and will be far less expensive than buying commercially made gear cutters. I do not yet have a method for indexing, so have not tried it yet, but I'm working on it.

I also viewed Hobbynut's videos and they are good too!

That would take all day I bet. I like this take on hobbing much better : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhICrb0Tbn4

I really like this one. Quite hypnotic. I would be interested in the kit but it is expensive.
