RUKO KEB-HSS Module Cutter 5.5, 56.0 mm Diameter, HSS, Bore 27 mm, DIN 3968 Class B

This RUKO module cutter (gear hob) is a precision tool for cutting spur gears, helical gears, and splines on gear hobbing machines. Its module 5.5 profile with a 56.0 mm outer diameter and 27 mm bore fits standard hobbing setups, while the high-speed steel body with ground involute profile delivers DIN 3968 Class B accuracy.

Highlights

• High-speed steel (HSS) for durability and heat resistance
• Ground involute profile for precise tooth geometry
• Right-hand cutting direction with helical flutes for smooth chip evacuation
• Bore type with keyway for secure mounting
• Uncoated surface for versatile use with various coolants

In daily use

Mount the cutter on a gear hobbing machine arbor with the keyway aligned, then set the correct speed and feed for the workpiece material.
