Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a differential-equipped gear hob?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Primarily, when you need to recut helical gears. The differential allows you to keep the workpiece and hob cutter in sync while you back the cutter up for another cut. This is particularly handy for "getting it right" the first time, larger pitches, and some harder materials. Also, with a little trickery you can cut prime spur gears with large tooth numbers. See How to cut a large spur gear with a prime number of teeth? for a description of a method for large prime gears.

What can I cut on a non-differential gear hob?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
A hobbing machine in its simplest form has no differential, yet it is versatile and productive. A basic non-differential gear hob can serve well for break-down and production work over a wide variety of toothed members. The type of work generated is determined by the hob cutter tooling. Hob cutters are readily available to cut nearly any external tooth member: spur or helical gearing, splines, timing belt pulleys, roller chain or silent chain sprockets, and throated worm gears.

What is the Differential Factor required in CPC-HOB?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Differential Factor as used by CPC-HOB should not be confused with the machine's Lead Constant. Differential Factor is used by CPC-HOB to accommodate the Index Constant on some hobbing machines that changes when the differential is locked or unlocked. CPC-HOB automatically compensates for changing Index Constant when the Diff Factor (DF) is entered. The Index Constant for most machines is constant and independent of differential engagement.

Why does CPC-HOB find index gear sets too small to reach?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
CPC-HOB selects suitable index gear sets based on index gear NDP and center-to-center (C-C) distance between fixed index gear shafts. These are user-specified values entered for each machine in CPC-HOB's Hob Machine List. If C-C distance is too small, or if the NDP entered is smaller than actual index gear pitch, then CPC-HOB thinks smaller size gearsets will fit together on the machine.

How is a non-differential hobbing machine set up to cut a spur gear?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
All gear hobbing machines have an Index Constant. This constant, along with the number of teeth to cut and the number of starts in the hob cutter determine the index gear ratio and the index change gears. Some typical Index Constants are: 36, 30, 24, 15, 12, 10, etc. Let's take an example using a single start hob cutter.

What kind of gear will I need for the class?

Technical SCUBA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The specific requirements vary from class to class, but generally you'll need your gear rigged in the Hogarthian fashion. You'll need at least one deco bottle for staged decompression; two deco bottles are required for some of the dives. They should be aluminum 30s or 40s and have a good regulator on them since you'll be breathing from these longer than your other regulators.

What is Differential GPS?

Draft rec.boats.cruising FAQ
When the US defence department developed the GPS satellite system, it was meant for military applications - to help pinpoint the exact position of a soldier in the field, for example. That system is extremely accurate, within something like 50 feet. The DoD didn't want to give that capability to the enemy, so they scrambled that signal. The signal that's available to the public has been deliberately tweaked to provide a position within about 200 feet.

SCUBA Squad: FAQ
You'll need a mask, snorkel, fins, boots and gloves. For cold water diving, boots and gloves should be at least five millimeters thick. If you have vision problems, either wear contacts or invest in prescription lenses. You should also get diving insurance. Divers' Alert Network and other companies offer insurance for $45-70 per year; in case of decompression illness, this covers the cost of recompression. While this usually isn't necessary, the risk isn't worth it.
