MAZAK, BRETON, DMG GILDEMEISTER, DEPO, HAAS, Mitsui Seiki, Kao Ming, and other CNC machine tool manufacturers cut spiral bevel gears on universal milling machines. Modern CNC milling machines are as good or often better for gear cutting compare to traditional Gleason or Klingelnberg, if, correct spiral bevel software is used for 3d modeling of the gear tooth. But correct spiral bevel gear software for 3d CAD tooth modeling remains the key for success.
We have been using 3-axis machines for ring gears and 4-axis for the mating pinion. It is true that the quality of the finished gear is very high. If you want to cut your own gears on CNC machines you need a correctly designed 3d tooth surface model. Spiral Bevel Co and ZAKGEAR are well known in the USA for providing gear modeling services for CNC gear milling.
Mikron is the best for finishing tooth.
