Gear hob blank

tool

Cemented tungsten carbide hob blanks provide accurate, efficient, and productive cutting profiles customized for tools used for roughing and finishing gears. Hob blanks are pre-formed, manufactured pieces of metal or other materials used as a starting point for producing various types of cutting tools, such as gear hobs, milling cutters, and broaches. Hob blanks are typically made of high-speed steel or tungsten carbide and are machined and shaped to create the specific cutting profiles required for the tool's intended use. Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufacturers cemented carbide hob blanks designed for tools used in roughing and finishing gears and provides a wide range of hob blank grades for shell, shank, single shank, dual shank, straight fluted, spiral fluted, and chamfer hob blanks. Each grade uniquely benefits toolmakers, including reduced electrical discharge machining (EDM) wire cutting, wire cutting costs, and inventory needs while providing quicker lead times, longer tool life, less grinding for resharpening, and higher productivity.
