Advent Tool & Manufacturing has developed an indexable form milling platform suitable for involute splines, spur gears, ‘V' shaped gears, and various rack forms.
Utilizing their standard insert locking and locating system, Advent Tool produces the appropriate custom form-on standard insert blanks ground in-house. With the system pictured, Advent Tool has two forms on the insert, in this case one form for roughing and one form for finishing. In addition to vast productivity gains from carbide, as opposed to highspeed steel construction, the platform uses a 3-tooth form in the cut which further enhances throughput over a conventional single tooth involute hob cutter.
