A toothed workpiece chamfering device having a chamfering head () which includes a first axis of rotation (B) for rotation of a first chamfering tool () and a second axis of rotation (T) for rotation of a second chamfering tool () wherein the first and second chamfering tools are of different types and their respective material removal methods are also different from one another. Preferably, the first and second axes of rotation are not coincident with one another and in a more preferred arrangement, the first tool axis and the second tool axis are arranged perpendicularly to one another.

Multi-tool chamfering device for toothed workpieces

Method of grinding cylindrical gears with a threaded grinding wheel wherein the amount of grinding wheel material utilized during shifting remains constant as the wheel diameter decreases, for example, due to dressing. The amount of grinding wheel shifting is adjusted as the grinding wheel diameter decreases.
