During Hobbing both the hob and theworkpiece rotateilla continuous [)uringthis rotation, the hobitypically fed axiaUywithallthe teeth beinggradually formed as the tool traverses the workface (see ).FOIl"a spur gear being cut with a single starthob, the workpiece will advance one tooth foreach revolution of the cutter. Wilen bobbing atwenty-tooth gear" the hob will rotate twentytimes, while the workpiece will rotate profile is formedbythe equally spacedcutting edgesaroundthehob, each taking sue-cessive cuts on the workpiece, with the work-piece ,in a slightly different po ition for eachcut (see Fig.]
