The invention relates to a device for generating teeth of workpieces (3) by hob peeling, having a workpiece spindle (1) that can be rotatably driven for accommodating the work wheel (3) to be geared, particularly internally, and having a tool spindle (2) that can be rotatably driven, said tool spindle (2) carrying a peeling wheel (4), which has a regular tooth pitch determined by the tooth spacing of the gearing of the workpiece (3). In order to improve the performance of the generic device and/or generic method, and to provide the peeling wheel suited therefor, it is proposed that the distance between at least some of the teeth of the peeling wheel (4) that are of identical shape corresponds to a multiple of the regular tooth pitch.
