hob

Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines, and cutting sprockets on a hobbing machine, which is a special type of milling machine. The teeth or splines of the gear are progressively cut into the material (a flat, cylindrical piece of metal) by a series of cuts made by a cutting tool called a hob. Compared to other gear forming processes it is relatively inexpensive but still quite accurate, thus it is used for a broad range of parts and quantities.It is the most widely used gear cutting process for creating spur and helical gears and more gears are cut by hobbing than any other process as it is relatively quick and inexpensive.A type of skiving that is analogous to the hobbing of external gears can be applied to the cutting of internal gears, which are skived with a rotary cutter (rather than shaped or broached).

    Built in oven install with hob above.

    Hi Guys, The oven's MI's state connection via a rigid metallic pipe, but this seems impractical as well as needing a large access hole in one side of the cupboard. Would a catering hose complying with BS669 be suitable for use for this purpose? Has anyone else had this in the past? Cheers.
