I noticed some gear cutters on eBay and wondered how they were used.
Some have what appear to be a taper shank on them and others are similar to horizontal arbour milling cutters, but not!
One of the taper shank types is item number 130077714939 and one of the other types is item number 130077974259 and a thinner type item number 130077720295
From what I can see they would have to be used in some form of shaper setup to cut like a form tool, but not even sure if the middle one would do that.
Can someone more knowledable please explain to me how they would work as I only know how to use standard gear cutters in the lathe or milling machine?
Many thanks
