There is disclosed a globoid worm gear generating method in which the surface of a globoid worm generating tool is defined as the tooth surface of an intermediate gear by an inverted conical surface whose semivertical angle gamma is 90 DEG < gamma <180 DEG , a relational movement similar to that of a globoid worm wheel is given to the tool so as to generate a globoid worm, and the worm wheel is generated by a wheel generating tool having a contour wholly or partially similar to that of the globoid worm, or in which the surfaces of a globoid worm generating tool are defined wholly or partially by two inverted conical surfaces whose semivertical angles gamma are 90 DEG < gamma <180 DEG , and the major axes as well as bottoms of the two inverted conical surfaces are coincident with each other so that both tooth surfaces of a worm may be simultaneously generated. By this method of the invention, the globoid worm gears can be generated within a short period of time.
