This will be my last response:

I never came on strong until you jumped in and infuriated the situation with YOUR ignoramous comments and "smarter than thou" attitude. You came on in an offensive way. Your first comment was:

"The one in the Newfangled suite is crap."
 "The cutter diameter is missing and so it can't post code."

"Did I mention it was crap ?"

So make no mistake, you started this crap.

Response to your previous posts:

It dosn't say gear hob, but it dosn't say involute cutter either.

You seem to be obsessed with Jose Rodrigues.  I never mentionsd his name until now but you have already attacked him 3 times. At least he teaches people to do things for themselves, whereas you just hang on the forums criticizing  and weasel-wording around the truth. Anyone who graduated high school knows Pi, and if not, then he knows how to get it.

I never said that I was short-changed by Brian -- YOU said that. I said that I was dissappointed with that particular wizard.

I never demanded that Brian rewrite the wizard overnight or even rewrite it at all.  That is just more of YOU going off half-cocked.

You originally said that you have more than 100 hobbing books,  Now you are construing that to include hobbing machine manuals. I would not consider machine manuals to be books that teach you how to build and use hobs, which is the context that YOUR original statement was made.

If you were as intelligent as you think you are, you would be teaching forum members how to do things and then everyone would know how smart you are without your telling them. Instead, you hang around the forum and attack members of the forum and then bloviate about how much you know.

You are stealing away from the value of this forum from people who want to exchange ideas and learn about Mach3. This particular thread is for Newfangled wizard problems and communicating with Brian. Why do you think it is in your place to jump in and attack customers of Brian and/or moderate this thread in any way? That was a question that you should ask yourself and not answer to me because I really am not interested in anything you have to say.

John, I will not answer any more of your posts, because you talk like a fool and offer nothing of value.

In closing, I am dissapointed that Art and/or Brian have allowed the activity in this particular thread to continue. It truly is a distraction to the real value of this forum and if allowed to continue, will eventrully destroy the forum -- and that would be a real loss to the CNC community.

John, that's a lot of bull *********X. Where in any of my posts did I say I was using a commercial hob and where did I say that I was using a helical hob. You jumped into this thread and made a bunch of half-baked assumptions which are wrong. What does your testing wizards have to do with me. I purchased Mach3 with my money and I purchased the wizards with my money and I have a right to be happy or dissapointed with what I paid for at my discretion, after all I was not able to test the wizards before I bought it.

I doubt that 100 books were ever written on the subject of hobbing, which tells me you like to make up stories. None of this has anything to do with you, and you should butt the hell out. Go back to drinking your tainted Kool Aid and communicating with the Mother-Ship.

John, first of all you are wrong about the hob. There are different kinds of Hobs.

Secondly, I purchased the license for the Newfangled wizards to make life easy. I already had the right to read books and write my own G-code. I didn't need to purchase a license to do that. And thirdly, I already know how to write G-code without using any spread sheets and reading any more books. I don't need any suggestions to do that. This thread is about Newfangled wizards, what they can and can't do, so go find some other parade to piss on. Better yet, go get a book and read about the different kind of hobs.

That is very dissapointing. Seems not much thought went into the wizard before it was written.

I won't buy involute cutters, therefore it makes that wizard useless to me.

It is been a week with no feedback. I have a project I would like to get to using the wizzard.

Are we looking at days, weeks, months, maybe never? Please advise....

How much power do you need in your shop to be able to supply the Hypertherm Powermax 1000. I am trying to determine if I have adequate power in my shop to take on such a project and have not been able to determine what input power the 1000 or 1200 needs.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Nice looking build by the way.

Hi Brian

Thanks for taking an interest in my question. Here is my example of G-code and some explanations.

=============================================================

Cutter located in the front and to the left of the blank that will be cut into a gear.
The finished gear will be 12 teeth and the total depth of cut will be 0.090 deep.
The width of the gear will be 0.300

The above criteria has been chosen for this example and does not reflect real world
data for an actual functional gear.

The z-axis will not move during the cutting and is positioned in the center of the blank.

The X-axis is used to cut the width of the gear.
The Y-axis is used to cut the depth of the tooth (the valley between 2 teeth).
The A-axis is used to rotate the blank (in this example 30 degrees between teeth)

In this example I used 2 passes to cut the entire depth of the valley
between the gear teeth. In the real world many more passes would be required
as my Taig would not be able to cut 0.045 each pass and the quality of the cut
and the shape of the teeth would be greatly improved with smaller depths per pass.
 
===================================================

Thanks

I tried using the cut gear wizard and found that the program is set to cut the entire depth first and then rotate the table. This works fine for using involute cutters whereas the cutter cuts the entire gear tooth profile.

I use a hob to cut gears and therefore need the cutter to cut to a certain depth that I determine, then rotate the table and repeat until the entire circumference is cut to that depth and then to start over and cut to an additional depth and go completely around again and repeat this process untill the entire gear is cut to its final depth. This method is required because the Hob modifies the tooth profile of the 2 adjacent gear teeth which thereby creates the involute portion of those teeth.

I hope I explained it properly and not just confused the question.

Is there already the ability to do this with the present wizard? If not, can it be modified to achieve this?

Thank you for the response, Art.

I briefly tried it on my desktop, with no machine attached, and it looks like my problem is solved. Next I'll try it in my workshop, although I'm sure it will work.

Does this keep the 360 degrees intact so that the rotary table will go from 0 to 360 then back to 0 again? I'm not sure that I asked the question correctly.
