The Home Grown cutter Grinder

I agree with Tom on that. The only thing related to gear cutting that some horizontal machines can do that a typical "Bridgeport" type vertical machine cannot is spiral cut gears. I haven't needed to make one in 40 years, and the only one I made back in 1975 was a do-nothing practice piece to show the trade school instructor that I learned his lesson on calculating everything for the Brown & Sharpe universal mill.
