SuperDry shaper cutter
Features
- High precision finishing enabling shaving-free processing
- Increase of efficiency and productivity
- Extended tool life by two to five times compared with conventional wet cutting coated with TiN can achieve cost reduction.
- Gear shaping without cutting oil improving working environment
The processing sample shows the longer cutting tool life.

The shaper cutters with SS treatment can reduce tears of gears.
SS treatment stands for the special treatment for reducing the roughness on the cutting tool surface.

Processing by Shaper cutters
Attach the shaper cutter to the gear shaping machine and perform gear cutting in vertical direction from the upper to the down section and back to the upper section (non-cutting) in reciprocal motion.
As cutting cannot be performed at the returning motion, cutting is not as efficient as hobbing with continuous processing.
While helical guide is required at helical gear processing which involves torsional motion, our lineup features the Flexible Guide Type Gear Shaping Machine (ST series).
