Product FAQ’s

Q. What is a gear shaving cutter?

A gear shaving cutter is a precision finishing tool used to improve gear tooth accuracy, surface finish, and noise performance. It removes very small amounts of material after gear hobbing or shaping. Gear shaving cutters are mainly used for high-volume gear production. They help achieve tight tolerances before heat treatment.

Q. What is the maximum thickness available for gear shaving cutters?

STC Gear shaving cutters can be manufactured with thickness up to 65 mm. Increased thickness provides higher rigidity during shaving operations. This improves cutting stability and surface finish. Thick cutters are suitable for high-volume production.

Q. Which industries commonly use gear shaving cutters?

Gear shaving cutters are widely used in automotive, transmission, tractor, and industrial gearbox industries. They are ideal for mass production of gears requiring low noise and smooth operation. Manufacturers of differential and gearbox components rely heavily on shaving. They are also used in off-highway and commercial vehicle applications.

Q. Can gear shaving cutters be customized as per drawing?

Yes, Super Tools manufactures Gear Shaving Cutters as per customer requirement, strictly following customer drawings and technical specifications. Customization includes module range, PCD, thickness, and profile modifications.

Q. What information is required to manufacture a custom shaving cutter?

To manufacture a custom shaving cutter, complete gear drawings, module, number of teeth, pressure angle, helix angle, and required profile modifications are needed. Details of the shaving machine and process type are important. Gear material and production volume must be specified. Accurate information ensures correct cutter design and optimal performance.

Q. What are the main advantages of gear shaving cutters?

They provide excellent surface finish and improved gear accuracy. They reduce noise and vibration in gear systems. Gear shaving cutters support high-volume production. They offer a cost-effective alternative to grinding.

Q. Can gear shaving cutters correct gear profile modifications?

Yes, gear shaving cutters can be designed with profile and lead modifications. They help correct crowning, taper, and micro-geometry errors. This improves load distribution across gear teeth. Modified cutters enhance gear durability and noise performance.

Q. Are gear shaving cutters compatible with CNC shaving machines?

Yes, STC gear shaving cutters are fully compatible with CNC shaving machines. CNC control improves repeatability and accuracy. Automated settings reduce setup errors. This supports high-volume manufacturing.

Q. How does re-sharpening improve cutter performance?

Re-sharpening restores cutting edges and performance.
Proper grinding maintains profile accuracy.
Excessive re-sharpening can reduce tool effectiveness.
Professional service ensures consistent results.

Q. What is the PCD range for gear shaving cutters?

The pitch circle diameter range for gear shaving cutters is from 100 mm to 250 mm. This range supports different machine sizes and gear dimensions. Correct PCD selection ensures proper cutter engagement. It also improves process consistency.
