Product Profile of Shaving Cutters

Dagger forst`s shaving cutter an efficient tool in the form of a disc type helical gear with slots running down the flank, forming cutting edges. The helix angle of its teeth is different from the helix angle of the work gears to ease the smooth finishing [shaving] of the flanks of the works gears. The cutters are specially to design and are manufactured in pcd 150 mm to 300 mm with suitable face width and bore as per requirements. Salient features of the shaving cutters are as follows:

• Gear noise is reduced to a great extent while transmitting high power at high speed.

• The life of gears is also improved.

• Modification of tooth form to crowned or taper shape by shaving eliminates tooth end load concentration in surface and increases the factor of safety. Shaving is done at high speed with a very low operation time- fastest and most economical method of producing quality gears

• Cutter can be re-sharpened so the total umber of gears can be finished by a cutter is quite substantial.

• Useful in the mass production of highly accurate gears for automobile industries at reasonably low cost and at a high rate of production.
