Hi
If the machine is a 2 series machine(either 2a/2c)Indexing spur gear formula is as follows:
(A) Number of teeth in job (C) 60
---------------------------- X -----------
(B) Number of teeth in cutter (D) 60
This is the same as a fellowes 7 series machine.
There is no formula for cutting helicals on these machines.Helicals are cut with the use of cutter guides and special form cutter.A very expensive way of cutting helicals
