Abstract
A process for controlling the tool infeed prior to machining a semi-machined gear comprises aligning the tool with the gear and feeding the tool radially inwardly in rapid traverse without making contact with the gear. The continuous rotating tool is then fed in incrementally in intervals of at least one gear revolution until the tool touches the gear for the first time. At this time the machining process is started.
