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

These five photo's depict a set up that my father rigged up 
for gear cutting on an Alexander Master Toolmaker milling machine.

The machine is a copy of the Deckel FP1.

I have a Mikron 112 gear hobber but it only does up to about 
five inches in diameter, this will do larger wheels and was 
used to make extra changewheels for the Mikron and the Myford 
super seven.

The pencil in one of the photo's is an essential part of the 
kit and is used for spending endless hours working out the 
gear train required !!
