        <title>Gear milling machine</title>
        <description> I&#039;m thinking something like an eggbot with a dremel.  it would need control of the drill head height and lateral position, and a stepper for the gear rotation.

This would be a nice little project to put together after building a reprap, since you could use your steppers and electronics to control the axes.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ No Ii think you'd still need a second planar axis to control tooth depth. And a dremel cutting bit, instead of the cutoff disks, would allow you to cut helical or herringbone gears]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I think you can hob simple gears with just a rotational axis plus a a rotary cutting tool mounted on a linear axis. the third axis is a plus, but optional. <br />
Sort of like this:<br />

so one could imagine a simpler rig...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I've attached a very quick mockup. The orange part is the dremel, the yellow is the printed frame, the blue is the gear blank, and the green is <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11642" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">printed racks</a>]]></description>
