Jacobs gear hobber3/7/2024 It still appears to me that the max size of the change gear train may be the limiting factor. It looks like it would be a useful addition to the shop if there is the volume of gear making to support it, tho the question of how large a gear it handle is still unanswered. One has to wonder why MEW didn't do as well, unless the purpose was, as you suggest, just to tease without informing. Great photos! Thanks for the close up views of the CES hobbing machine. Hopefully I've taken them from interesting angles, It's the first time I have sen one in the metal and I took five photos of this close up. Judging by the gear wear this little machine had done some serious work. The CES machine was described in MEW by Harold Hall in issues 58,59 and 60 but as this is a commercial venture still ongoing a lot of detail was also missed out.Įarlier this month I went to the Horrogate show in the north of England. The photos with the article are very bad, too small and too dark. All to often he mentions that something can be done with "an attachment " but never describes it. Unfortunatly they leave more out that they describe. I have these and have read them carefully. We finished up on the last thread talking about the CES machine which is based on the Tom Jacobs one described in ME from the later part of 1975 until mid 1976. It's obviously a subject that draws interest from the amount of posts on the last thread. I though I'd carry on with a new thread as we have moved on from the old one.
