Gear machining on a CNC lathe through hobbing requires a special live toolholder to mount the hob. Y axis is not mandatory but will allow the use of the whole length of the tool as once it is worn it can be shifted to machine in a different Y position.
Gear hobbing allows both machining straight and helical gears as well as splines. Gear hobbing is limited to external machining.
