Jacobs oringinal machine is desribed in ME magazine numbers 3529-3533 (Jan 1976) and again in 3541 - 3542. This was built up from bar stock, a bit flimsy. College engineering supplies (UK) updated the design and produced a set of drawings and castings. My ones are based on this.

Description starts in MEW mag issue 56:-

56 A treatise on gear hobbing in the home workshop
57 The hob form relief and backing off attachment
58 The updated machine is described (CES castings and drawings)
59 & 60 Machining and completion

Recent issues have dealt with modifications to the basic machine for helical gear hobbing.

Hi Swarfmaker,

I am dead interested in buying your castings if you still have them.

Regards
