A New Mesh Between Milling Tools and Gears

With the introduction of a new generation of indexable insert tools for gear milling, the cost per machined gear wheel can be reduced considerably. Such was the case with an external planetary gear, module 7. By switching from an HSS solid to an indexable insert hob, the cutting time was reduced by 50 percent and the tool life was more than doubled. The company in question was able to release more than 7,000 hours of machine time.
