Re EDM for gears:

Yeah, I imagine you could make a good gear that way. As long as long as you’re willing to spend 10 hours per gear.

i'd imagine they'd be cut in stacks or cut one long gear and then slice gears off like bread, i don't know as i've been out of it for going on twenty years

i guess i just figured technology had caught up with and replaced gear hobbers by now

still and all, i don't see operating a gear hobber as a highly skilled position
