Reconditioning can be performed as many as 10 times depending on the quality of the tool. The cutters feature a positive rake angle for light cutting action and the potential for dry machining.
According to the company, the power skiving cutters provide both high output and an optimized finishing profile. The tools are designed to meet customer specification and are said to be as much as 15x faster than shaping and more flexible than broaching. Applications include internal and external gears and splines, in addition to cylindrical spur and helical gears for automotive transmissions, and variety of other gears, coupling components, splines, shafts, synchronization rings and CV joint parts.
