Gear Hobber

Hello,
I was looking at Andy Pugh's Youtube video on gear hobbing. I would like to make something similar but maybe using the components cheaply available now from China. I am new to cnc but was an electronics engineer a long time ago. I do quite a lot of model engineering now and would like to make gears for a traction engine model. Can anyone help please?

@Andy,

I like that video on the 2" spring you wound on the horizontal mill. That is super nice. I have 2 Cincinnati Milacron Horizontals and that is what I going to tinker with real soon. Ironically my Dad just asked a few weeks ago about making some springs like this.... I came for the hobbing and leave with the spring .

We have a old Gould & Eberhardt 18" gear hobber and been wanting to rebuild and set up CNC. Absolutely love how quick you can do the "change gearing" that in itself is a huge time saver. I wanted to set up and hob in the mill, but it's a solid ram type and cannot do the ingenious fix you did with the couple of degrees tilt. Like the video, it was older with EMC2
