Ivan Law published a set of revised gear cutter buttons in Model Engineer 
June 1990. In the article he mentioned he omitted the cutting of Helical 
Gears from his book 'Gears and Gear Cutting'.  There is hint in the article 
of  the possibility of further articles on the subject of helical gears in 
ME.
Does anyone have an references to further articles on Helical Gear cutting?

Thank you in advance.

Dave, these are the only two references I can find in the ME Index: 

   Vol.174, No.3991, p.468, Gears from Scratch 2,
   Jock Smith,
   Describes spur, helical and spiral gear manufacture.
   Making a spur gear, addendum correction, helical gears, spiral gears,
   problems, picture on page 455

   Vol.196, No.4269, p.339, Cutting Spiral Gears in the Lathe", 
   Rex Swensen, 
   Explains his methods. Hobbing process, leadscrew ratios,
   computer, helical gear equations, possible gear solutions 
   8:16 teeth, spiral design for cam shaft drive

There is quite a lot of data in Machinery's handbook (at least in my
13th edition). I think you have to let us know a little more about
what you want to do and what equipment you have to do it on. I have
done some of these on home  workshop equipment, but they are not easy
and you wqill make scrap to begin with!.
If I can help further, please contact me

You need the Brown and Sharp book Practical Treatise on Gearing.
