Gear Cutter Hilitand 8‑Piece Involute Set 55mm OD 14.5°

Description

Product Overview

The Hilitand 8‑piece gear cutter set is engineered for professional gear manufacturing and repair. Each cutter is forged from premium high speed steel, a material renowned for its hardness, wear resistance, and ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge under high temperature conditions. The set includes cutters with a 55 mm outer diameter and a 22 mm bore, calibrated to a 14.5° pressure angle, which matches the standard involute gear geometry used in automotive, aerospace, and heavy‑duty machinery. The uniform size and proportion of each tool provide a balanced cutting range, ensuring sufficient rigidity throughout the milling process. This design minimizes vibration, reduces tool deflection, and enhances surface finish quality, allowing operators to achieve tight tolerances and repeatable results across multiple workpieces.

Usage

These cutters are compatible with most CNC and manual milling machines that accept arbor‑type accessories. They excel in applications such as gear blank preparation, tooth profiling, and gear re‑cutting for both spur and helical gears. The set’s eight distinct tools cover a wide range of tooth counts, making it suitable for small batch production, prototype development, and maintenance of existing gear assemblies. Users in automotive repair shops, machine shops, and manufacturing plants will find the cutters valuable for tasks that demand high precision, such as creating replacement gears, adjusting gear ratios, or fabricating custom gear sets for specialized equipment. The ergonomic design simplifies tool changes, reducing downtime and improving overall workflow efficiency.

FAQ

What type of milling machines are compatible with this cutter set?

The cutters are designed for standard arbor‑type milling machines, both CNC and manual, that accept a 22 mm bore tool holder. They work with most industrial milling equipment used for gear machining.

Can these cutters be used for both spur and helical gears?

Yes. The 14.5° pressure angle and high speed steel material make the cutters suitable for machining both spur and helical involute gears, provided the machine setup is correctly aligned.

How do I maintain the cutters to ensure optimal performance?

After each use, clean the cutters to remove metal chips and coolant residue. Store them in a dry environment and periodically inspect the cutting edges for wear. Re‑sharpening can be performed by a qualified tool service provider if necessary.

Is there a warranty or guarantee for this product?

Hilitand offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a cutter fails due to a defect within this period, we will replace it at no additional cost.

What are the recommended cutting speeds and feeds for these cutters?

Optimal cutting parameters depend on the material being machined. For common steel alloys, a cutting speed of 30‑45 m/min and a feed rate of 0.05‑0.12 mm/tooth are typical starting points. Adjustments may be needed based on specific workpiece hardness and machine rigidity.
