We currently have three articles pertaining to gear hobbing: this one, gear hobs, and hobbing machine. This seems a little excessive, so I think that the most specific of them, gear hobs, should be merged into this article. Gear hobs is currently not long enough to really warrant its own article. I would also be open to merging it into hobbing machine if that's what others think would be better. Wizard191 ( talk) 21:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd support this merge. I can't see much call for them as separate articles.
It's an obscure process and is usually performed on these dedicated machines. Any reference to the machine is likely to involve the process description too, and refs to the process wouldn't be harmed by its converse. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm dubious of the "NHS Swiss tooth standard". I've search all over the internet for it and can't come up with anything but mirrors of this article. I realize that that's not proof that it doesn't exist, but it does say something. I need someone with more authority to chime in. Wizard191 ( talk) 00:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Just an FYI, if anyone wants to expand this article further, Drozda has a TON of info available. Moreover, everyone can access it via Google Books. Wizard191 ( talk) 00:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
In the section discussing "Equipment", the captions below the two pictures appear to be reversed in reference to the description of vertical and horizontal hobbing machines. 99.191.73.46 ( talk) 23:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not going to make a new one but the drawing is totally wrong. The face of the teeth on a hob is almost universally radial to the center of the bore. Once in a very great while you come across a hob with "hook" like the drawing : I've never seen one with more than 5*. Those are a pain in the patootie to sharpen. The dressing diamond on a sharpening machine travels along a fixed path which intersects the center of the cutter's bore and moves radially. The rear (grinding) face of the cup-type dished sharpening wheel is thus tangent to a plane that would intersect the center of the axis of the hob being sharpened. Not that easy to describe in words, sorry :)
Anyway, the teeth of any hob VERY VERY rarely have a hook as illustrated, and when they do it is for some special purpose or material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.22.142.82 ( talk) 09:20, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
