For say 16 DP you might want to start with. For each revolution of the part the feedrate will give you X advance of the tooth. Install your feed gears according to the feedrate. You will most likely be using single-start hobs so the index chart will work as-is but if you ever go to a double-start, remember to cut the index by half. Install your index gears according to the number of teeth you want. While I'm here, for helicals same hand adds the hob angle to the gear helix angle to get the swivel angle, opposite hands subtract, e.g. Or at 0 to the axis of the blank, however you want to think of it. The teeth of the hob at the cut should be at a 90 to the blank. Just look at it, you will see what's right. Check me on this, sometimes my brain goes astray. What you are trying to achieve is a rack parallel to the face of the gear so a right-hand hob on yours would be tilted to the right, a left-hand hob to the left. Right hand hob goes one way, left hand the other. For spur gears, set the hob head at the swivel angle as marked. Sometimes this is "WD" and sometimes "D+F" (tooth depth plus clearance) which means the same. Markings on the end of the hob show the tooth size (DP or Mod), swivel angle and usually the whole depth. With all the numbers you will be keeping in your head you *will* forget. After it's mounted it's a pain to take it off because you forgot the whole depth or whatever. Write all the markings on the end of the hob down first.
