The cutter is a fixed form, yet the tooth space is tapered or wedge shaped. So it needs to be moved somehow. With the rotab at an angle like that, the simple rotate 8 holes and shift 1/4 of the circular pitch no longer works. I was hoping it would but kinda knew better. Needed to see it physically rather than as a cloud of numbers in my head. I can puzzle this out, but it will take months. Some people can see problems like this and know exactly what to do. I'm not blessed that way.
Oh, the DH there is too big. I have two smaller ones but didn't want to wrestle with that big thing. The little 2 inch gear blank barely fit under the cutter.
I *think* the setup would fit a vertical mill by mounting the rotab on its side.
