How to Improve Gear Cutting Accuracy with HSS Tools

If you want to ensure that your gears are cut just the way you like them, NIGEL is here to help with HSS tooling for cutting gears. These special tools are excellent for ensuring accurate cuts and exact fits. Here’s a closer look at some things you can do to advance gear cutting precision with HSS tools.

There are good reasons to employ HSS tools for gear cutting accuracy:

HSS tools are formed from a special type of steel which is able to withstand high temperatures without losing its hard properties. This makes it able to slice through hard materials effortlessly so you get smooth and precise cuts. Using HSS tools, your cuts will be “clean” without any jagged edges and your gears will fit perfectly.

How to Select HSS Tool for a Gear Cutting Task:

There can be lot of variation when selecting an HSS tool to use for your gear cutting project, but you need to think about what sort of material you’ll be cutting, along with the size and shape of the gears you require. NIGEL has all types of HSS tools, with varied coatings and cutting margins, to meet diverse cutting applications. Be sure to pick the tool that is best for your project and will deliver the best results.

Performance and precision optimization methods for HSS gear cutting tools:

For the best performance of your HSS tools, use the right cutting speed and feed rate. (That’ll prevent you from damaging the tool and help to make sure all of your cuts are clean and precise.) It’s also wise to use cutting fluid to lubricate to keep the tool cool, and to avoid heat buildup. These methods can be employed to increase both the accuracy and efficiency of your gear cutting work.

Important Points to consider in case of installing HSS tools for achieving the best cutting accuracy:-

TAKE A LITTLE time to ensure the HSS tooling you’re mounting is level and securely fastened. This is to ensure that there is no wiggle or any other vibrations to compromise the accuracy of your cuts. You also need to seek sharpness on the cutting edges and replace tools that have become dull. It is worth the time to properly align your tools making you will have consistent accurate cuts.
