Tool material – high-speed steel or hard metal?

The decision regarding optimum use of gear-cutting tools depends on many factors. The tool is always to be looked at in connection with the gear-cutting task. The entire system must always be analysed.
This includes:
- the material to be cut and its properties
- the gear-cutting machine with its technical possibilities
- construction-related, potentially problematic workpiece factors
- construction-related, potentially problematic gear-cutting tool factors
- the infrastructure of the production site
