Helical Type Gear Shaper Cutters

Helical gear shaper cutters are mainly manufactured to customers specific requirements, especially in the form of single helical cutters, which are extensively used in the manufacture of automotive gear boxes. 

Single helical gear shaper cutters may also be designed for use in a thread or worm generating machine for the production of single or multi-start worms. These are usually cone sharpened.

Double helical cutters are used in matched pairs and are sharpened with their cutting edges ground parallel to the axis. These tools are used for cutting continuous double helical gears, which are used in the transmission of high loads in gear pumps and similar applications.
