Uniflex method is equally suited for the manufacturing of straight bevel gears
according to the Coniflex method or for the cutting or grinding of face gears
according to the Coniface process. The available three sizes of Phoenix ma-
chines are all capable of performing the Uniflex cutting or grinding method.
