| Description: |  | This cutter is for making spiral-tooth gears and is not a traditional worm-style hob cutter, but rather is a crown-gear style of cutter. The innovation is a cutter-tooth shape that provides a constant pressure angle from front to back which maintains the correct tooth geometry as the cutters are sharpened. A special machine is required to grind the precise tooth shape: see patent 2,135,894. |  |
