Gear rack milling tools for standard and custom rack profiles.

Capabilities to meet AGMA AAA specifications.

Optional tool stocking program available for immediate deliveries.

All industry-standard materials including S390, ASP2052, ASP2078, and premium carbide grades:
Advanced material offerings, including MC90.
Superior tool life vs high-speed steels, approaching performance of carbide.
Increased productivity and tool life result in low cost comparable to high-speed steel.

Longer tool life, by design and by coating.

Helios gear cutting tools come in high-speed steel, MC90, and carbide to match the part and the cut. Our fine-pitch carbide tools are ground to hold tooth profile accuracy nearly the full length of the tooth, without altering flute widths, so each one cuts more parts, resharpens more times, and lasts longer than typical carbide tools.

Coatings extend tool life further. The Oerlikon Balzers Balinit® line includes TiN, TiAlN, AlCrN, and the latest-generation Altensa, each adding wear resistance for tougher cuts. AlTiCrN, AlCrTiN, and TiAlCN from Voestalpine Eifeler Coatings are also available.

"It's hard to tell sometimes that it was hobbed and not ground. I used to be able to just walk by and know which it was. Now I actually have to stop and look a little closer. Very solid, very quiet."
