The purpose of this study is to develop a gear-cutting method of hypoid gears to achieve a good tooth bearing and good performance for practical use. In the first report, the authors proposed a new cutting method of parallel depth hypoid gears which mesh with each other at one point at a constant angular velocity ratio, and precisely stated the theory for the gear-cutting method. One of the features of this method is that the designer can control the trace of the point contact mark on the tooth surface as desired. In this report, the theory of the trace of the point contact mark is shown precisely. In order to confirm the validity of the method, some hypoid gears were designed and manufactured, and the traces of the point contact mark on red lead corresponded to those of the theory.
