<p>A hobbing tool connects to a CNC lathe for performing a hobbing operation on a workpiece mounted in the lathe. It includes a drive end for mounting to a tool station of a turret of the lathe and for being driven by the lathe and a hobbing end having a hob drive shaft for supporting and driving a hob to machine a portion of the workpiece mounted in the lathe. The hob drive shaft is operatively connected to the drive end so that the hob drive shaft can be rotationally driven by the lathe. The hobbing end is connected to the drive end with a rotationally adjustable coupling which allows a lead angle of the hob shaft to be adjusted with respect to the workpiece.</p>
