GENERATION & LIFE OF DATHAN GEAR

SHAPER CUTTERS
GENERATION
All Dathan gear shaper cutters are FULLY generated to give
maximum cutting performance and to maintain the accuracy of
the profile generated throughout the life of the tool. This
generation also allows Dathans designers to optimise the
design of the tool to keep a tighter tolerance on certain areas of
the profile as required by the customer. (Start of active profiles,
chamfers, fillets etc.)

DIAMETER OF CHAMFER ON GEAR

LIFE OF THE CUTTER

The above graph shows a typical root diameter and chamfer
curve throughout the life of a shaper cutter.
The y axis shows the outside diameter of the cutter as it
reduces through re-sharpening. The x axis shows the root
diameter and chamfer diameter that are achieved
corresponding to the amount of cutter re-sharpening.
These curves show higher variation for lower pressure angles
e.g. 14.5 and reduces for higher pressure angles such as 45.
This variation of root diameter is usually the limiting factor on
the life of lower pressure angle shaper cutters.

SHAPER CUTTER ADAPTORS & SLEEVES

Dathan adaptors & sleeves are available to convert a hollow
spindle machine to mount small bore or shank cutters with
various tapers. Also to convert a fixed spindle with 1.25 bore
