I've cut plenty of gear racks on a vertical mill using a horizontal milling attachment. If that is not available check on the availability of spur gear racks from Boston Gear. I purchased spur gear blanks from BG when I was rebuilding my vertical mill power feed unit and did not yet have the capability to cut gears. BTW, it was much cheaper than buying the necessary gear cutters.
