MODUGEAR, the family of indexable gear-milling
cutters, reflects a conventional design approach,
comprising disk-type tools with tangentially clamped
LNET inserts. The tangential clamping principle
provides an extremely rigid and durable cutter
structure that results in stable and precise enough
machining tooth or spline profiles. Its principal
application is producing involute gears of relatively
low accuracy and rough gear-milling operations that
feature a 1-1.75 mm (039-.069") gear module range.

The cutters with replaceable heads have two
significant advantages compared with gear milling
tools carrying indexable inserts: they offer better
precision and allow the design of gear-milling cutters
that are small in diameter but feature quite a large
number of teeth. The replaceable heads are mounted
in bodies (shanks), which are standard-line products
suitable not only for the gear-milling heads but also
for other types of head (for milling slots and grooves,
for example). This enables customers to increase
operating efficiency of the versatile shanks and to
reduce tool stock, providing added value.

The replaceable solid carbide heads of the T-GEAR
SD D32-M…-SP15 family are mounted in standard
T-SLOT SD-SP15 cylindrical shanks and transform
the latter into 32 mm (1.26") diameter gear milling
cutters. The precise profile of the cutters’ teeth and
the accurate and reliable SP-connection between the
shank and the head define its range of use: milling
involute gears featuring a 1-2 mm (.039-.079") module.
