DEFINITION
Classification: 409/8
Gear chamfering or deburring:
(under subclass 1) Apparatus or method including a cutting tool to (a) form a generally straight surface intersecting two surfaces previously formed on an intermeshing element (gear tooth) or (b) sever off any protruding edge unintentionally formed on an intermeshing element during formation thereof.
(1) Note. The apparatus or process of this subclass is somewhat different from that of the remainder of the subclasses under subclass 1 in that the cutting edge of the cutting tool of this subclass does not form the basic shape of the element for transmitting motive force, rather the apparatus or process of this subclass is for the ancillary treatment of such an element of removal of unwanted surface irregularities or protuberances.
