Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What module size are these involute gear cutters, and what pressure angle do they use?
A: These gear cutters are Module 1 (M1) with a standard 20-degree pressure angle, making them compatible with M1 involute gear milling operations on conventional horizontal or vertical milling machines.
Q: Do I need all 8 cutters, or can I buy individual pieces?
A: This set is sold as a complete 8-piece collection. Together, all 8 cutters cover the full range of M1 involute gear tooth counts — from 12-tooth pinions up to gears with 135 or more teeth — so having the full set ensures you're prepared for any M1 gear milling task.
Q: What material are the cutters made from, and how durable are they?
A: Each cutter is manufactured from High-Speed Steel (HSS), which offers excellent hardness, heat resistance, and durability for gear milling applications. HSS tooling is a reliable industry-standard choice for involute gear profile cutting.
Q: What is the arbor hole (aperture) diameter of these cutters?
A: The aperture (bore/arbor hole) is approximately 22 mm, which is a common standard size compatible with most milling machine arbors designed for gear cutter work.
