Gear Hobs
I have worked (in the UK) in the gear manufacturing industry for 10 years and I have never heard what I would call a "hobbing machine" or "hobber" referred to as merely a "hob".

A "hob" as I understand it, is more specifically the cutting tool that is mounted onto the "hobbing machine". Supaming (talk) 16:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree and I intend to re-write the article. There are other articles on Gear hobbing and Hobbing machine. Biscuittin (talk) 21:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
