Hi.
The "12/K" term in Pn/(C*Sine of helix angle) * 12/K represents the feed constant of the machine. For example, our 6-10 12/N has a feed constant of .075" or 3/40. That means, with 1:1 feed gearing, we would feed .075"/rev of work. For feed in a helical job, I use Pn/(C*Sine of helix angle)*.075 . Perhaps if you put a 1:1 feed each of these machines, you can verify their feed constants. Then you can just use Pn/(C*Sine of
helix angle)*feed constant for helical feed calculations. Once index and feed constants are
known this math should work for the 6-10 as well as other hobbing machines.

Good Luck
John C.
