Product FAQ’s

Q. What is an involute gear cutter?

An involute gear cutter is a precision cutting tool used to machine involute gear tooth profiles accurately. It is designed to generate correct pressure angles and smooth flank geometry. These cutters are commonly used in gear manufacturing and transmission components. They ensure consistent tooth accuracy and reliable gear performance.

Q. What technical specifications define an involute gear cutter?

Key specifications include module or DP, pressure angle, number of teeth, cutter diameter, and face width. Material grade and heat treatment determine strength and wear resistance. Coatings such as TiN or TiAlN improve tool life. Precision grinding ensures accurate involute geometry.

Q. Where are involute gear cutters commonly used?

They are widely used in automotive gears, industrial gearboxes, pumps, and power transmission systems. Applications include spur gears, external splines, and precision gear components. Tool rooms and batch production facilities rely on them. They are ideal for accurate and repeatable gear tooth machining.

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

Yes, involute gear cutters can be manufactured as per customer drawings and gear data. Custom modules, pressure angles, and tooth forms are achievable. Special coatings and cutter dimensions can be provided. Customization ensures perfect compatibility with specific gear designs.

Q. How should an involute gear cutter be installed and maintained?

The cutter should be mounted on a clean, rigid arbor with correct clamping torque. Proper alignment prevents runout and uneven wear. Regular inspection and re-sharpening extend tool life. Using recommended cutting parameters avoids premature failure.

Q. Are involute gear cutters suitable for CNC machines?

Yes, involute gear cutters are fully suitable for CNC milling and gear cutting machines. They perform well under controlled feed rates and spindle speeds. CNC compatibility ensures repeatable accuracy and surface finish. Proper programming maximizes cutter efficiency.

Q. Can involute gear cutters be re-sharpened?

Yes, involute gear cutters can be re-sharpened multiple times depending on design. Re-sharpening restores cutting edges without altering involute accuracy. Professional grinding maintains profile integrity. This reduces tooling cost and increases overall productivity.

Q. Are involute gear cutters suitable for hardened materials?

Yes, carbide, PM and HSS steel involute gear cutters are suitable for hardened materials. Proper coatings enhance wear resistance at higher hardness levels. Controlled cutting conditions are essential. This enables efficient machining of heat-treated components.

Q. Why choose involute gear cutters for small batch production?

They offer flexibility and lower tooling investment compared to hobs. Ideal for prototypes, repairs, and small production runs. Quick setup saves machining time. They provide precise results without high tooling costs.

Q. Are involute gear cutters compatible with manual milling machines?

Yes, involute gear cutters can be used on both manual and CNC milling machines. Proper setup and indexing are required for accuracy. Manual machines are suitable for small batches. This offers flexibility across different workshops.
