Hob Cutter - High-precision Gear Cutting Tool | Inexpensive, Versatile For Spur And Helical Gears

In the series of our range of products, we are engaged in manufacturing and supplying an extensive range of Hob Cutter in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab, India. Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines, and cutting sprockets on a hobbing machine, which is a special type of milling machine. The teeth or splines are progressively cut into the workpiece by a series of cuts made by a cutting tool called a hob. Compared to other gear forming processes it is relatively inexpensive but still quite accurate, thus it is used for a broad range of parts and quantities.[1]

It is the most widely used gear cutting process for creating spur and helical gears[2] and more gears are cut by hobbing than any other process since it is relatively quick and inexpensive.[3]

A type of skiving that is analogous to the hobbing of external gears can be applied to the cutting of internal gears, which are skived with a rotary cutter (rather than shaped or broached).[4]
