A universal cutting blade blank and cutting blades formed therefrom. The front face of the blank and blade comprises a pair of mounting surfaces with a front rake surface and connecting surface located therebetween. The cutting blade formed from the blade blank is more stable in a cutter head during cutting operations such as in the production of gears and related toothed articles. A single cutting blade blank can be used for forming inside and outside cutting blades regardless of the direction of cutter rotation.

Universal cutting blade blank and method for forming a cutting blade

A face mill type cutter, preferably a rotary ring cutter, having coolant passages located within the cutter to supply coolant to discharge outlets located between and/or in the stock removing surfaces located on the cutter. Coolant is supplied to the face mill cutter either by a coolant shroud arranged about at least a portion of the periphery of the cutter, or, by at least one coolant delivery passage arranged in the spindle of a machine tool.

Rotary ring cutter having coolant distribution and discharge means

A face milling type gear cutting assembly including contiguous cutting tools positioned in a common slot with means for preserving clearance for chip removal between these tools. The cutting assembly also includes a tool clamping arrangement featuring a novel clamping block which is releasably attached to a screw element in situ.

Gear cutter assembly

An improved cutting tool intended primarily for gear cutting operations and a method of manufacturing this new tool. The tool is of a type formed from a length of bar stock and may be resharpened while preserving metallurgical or other treatments on front cutting faces of the tool. The improved tool also includes a base mounting portion and a cutting end. A first cutting face is formed in part of the length of the tool and a second cutting face is formed throughout substantially the full length of the tool in a way that preserves important mounting surfaces in the base portion of the tool.
