Frequently asked questions

What are disc type shaper cutters?

Disc type shaper cutters are cutting tools for cutting a specific type of gear, either internal or external, spur or helical. They are often used in industries such as automotive and manufacturing.

What is the difference between discs and other types of cutters?

Disc type shaper cutters have a disc-like shape, hence the name. They are commonly used for cutting involute forms and are designed to achieve a high level of accuracy and precision in the cutting process.

What is the gear cutting process?

It is the process of creating teeth on gears using specialised tools. This process is necessary to generate the gears' teeth to the required size, shape, and profile.

Are disc shaper cutters standardised?

Yes, they are manufactured according to specific standards, such as BS 5246:1976 and BS 2887(1957). These standards define the dimensions, tolerances, and other specifications for the cutters.

What materials are they made of?

They are typically made of high-speed steel (HSS) and other high-quality tool materials. The choice of material depends on factors such as the type of gear being cut, the required quality and accuracy, and the customer's specific requirements.

What sizes are available?

They are available in a wide selection of sizes. Depending on the size of the bore and number of teeth, options may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific requirements of the customer. All pitches are available from .25 pitch to 18 MOD. Most bore sizes can also be accommodated.

What is their accuracy class?

Even though these products are capable of being manufactured to various accuracy classes, Class AA is what we usually manufacture as standard. The choice of accuracy class depends on the application and the desired level of precision and quality.

What is the surface finish achieved?

They are designed to achieve a high-quality surface finish on the gear being cut. The exact finish will depend on factors such as the material being cut and the cutting parameters used.

Can these products be used for cutting splines?

Yes, they can be used for cutting splines. They are suitable for both internal and external splines and can be designed to meet specific spline profiles and dimensions.

What materials are they made of?

Disc-type cutters are made from high-quality tool steel, typically M35 grade. This material provides excellent hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for cutting operations.

Can I get them with different pitches?

Yes, these products can be supplied with different pitches to meet the specific requirements of your project. Make sure to specify the desired pitch when placing your order.

Do you offer custom disc-type shaper cutters?

Yes, we offer custom disc-type shaper cutters to cater to your unique machining needs.

What coatings are available for disc-type shaper cutters?

We offer disc-type shaper cutters with various coatings to enhance their cutting performance and tool life. Popular coating options include ALCRONA, MAXIMIZER, and TiN (Titanium Nitride).

Do you supply disc-type shaper cutters worldwide?

Yes, we can supply our products to customers worldwide. Contact us to discuss your requirements and arrange international shipping.
