Root Form Grinding

Root form cutting regrinds the tooth profiles and flute faces in high speed steel root form cutters.

Process

• Resharpen the flute face or regrind the tooth profile and flute face.

Material

• High speed steel

Machine Features and Benefits

• Available on the Huffman HS-150, HS-190 and HS-200 series grinding systems.
• Automatic wheel truing with wheel wear compensation is an integral part of the software.
• An automatic wheel dressing (stick feed) system is available for opening the grinding wheel bond.
• Integrated to a CAD/CAM system or Huffman's APT programming language for profile grinding.
• Tolerances between pressure lands are held less than 0.0002" (0,0051 mm) for profile grinding.
• For profile grinding, a diamond truing nib is used to form a conventional abrasive wheel. The program compensates for any form distortion generated by axial or radial rake on the flute face.
• Wheel diameters for profile grinding are a function of tooth spacing; typically 6"-8" (152-203 mm).
• The formed wheel grinds a CAM relief on the profile.
• Tooling is available for securing both tapered and straight shank cutters.
