Do I get a prize for answering my own question ...

I phoned GMB Associates in Tamworth (they are one of the Boston gear
distributors) and they can do 20tooth, 16DP, 14.5PA, 3/4 inch bore in
steel for =A311.89, 30T for =A315.19 plus UK delivery VAT etc. They have
to be shipped from the US, but they are stock items out there.

Not bad - should get me going OK. They also do 20DP, 14.5PA - 20 to 120
teeth (and 8, 10 and 12 DP for serious lathes).

Steve

If you can't get it from stock, I guess it would be cheaper to buy a set
of gear mills and make your own. Supposed you have a mill and a rotary
table / index head.

Don't think I have any tucked away but I have to go to Arc Euro this
afternoon.
It's about time I picked a 16DP hob up so you are now my excuse for
getting one <bg>

If you aren't in a rush I reckon I can run some off next week.

Out of curiosity:
How much does such a hob cost at about?
