The attachment consisting of a gear train enables the spindle axis to be oriented at rightly angles to the machine spindle. In a horizontal plan. The successive rack teeth are cut by using a rack indexing attachment. The slanted rack teeth or skew rake may be machined when the attachment is mounted on universal milling when the table may be swiveled to the required helix angle
