Sorry, but your machine is not in the FAQ list of machines; are you sure of the spelling? Do you have a manual? Is there any other name on the machine? Is there a machine cover with a list of example setups for helicals? Do you have any sample setup that cuts a good helical gear?
We need to know what we have to work with.
Without a manual or a sample setup to reverse engineer, you will need to use one of the procedures described in the FAQ under hobbing topics to find your differential constant - unless someone reading has the machine you describe?
The FAQ shows most anything you need to know about setting up a hobbing machine.
If you knew the machine constants, would you know how to set up the differential?
We just need to know your level of experience to see what you need to know.
