The shank is attachable to a gear cutter and has a tip end formed on the distal end thereof. The chamfering edge is positioned within the tip end and is configured to form a tooth top-land radius of multiple gear ratios. A method of designing a ring gear or pinion common outside chamfer tool and common inside chamfer tool for multiple gear ratios is also described.
