Addison 1 Inch Bore HSS Involute Gear Cutter

Addison 1 Inch Bore HSS Involute Gear Cutter involute gear cutter is a specialized cutting tool used in gear manufacturing processes to create gears with precise tooth profiles. It typically consists of a cylindrical-shaped cutter with multiple teeth arranged around its circumference. These teeth are carefully designed to cut the involute profile, which is crucial for ensuring smooth and efficient gear operation.

The cutter's teeth are shaped in such a way that when it rotates against a gear blank, it gradually removes material to form the gear teeth with the desired profile. This process is known as gear hobbing or gear milling.

In manufacturing, accuracy is paramount, and involute gear cutters are engineered with high precision to ensure consistency and uniformity in gear tooth profiles. They are made from hardened and heat-treated materials to withstand the rigors of cutting metal and maintain sharp cutting edges over prolonged use.

Involute gear cutters come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different gear specifications, including module, pitch, pressure angle, and number of teeth. They are essential tools in industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, and robotics, where gears are fundamental components in transmitting motion and power.
