VT machining provides CNC Gear Cutting for prototype, bridge and production quantities, working from your CAD model or 2D print.
CNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. We quote from your files, give honest DFM feedback up front, and back each batch with dimensional inspection.

Custom CNC Machining BuilderConfigure any custom precision machined metal part not covered by the other process builders: choose metal, shape, size, thickness, optional holes and finishing, then add notes or attach a drawing at RFQ. Every builder includes the Freeform Corner & Region Editor: cut or add material of any shape directly on the 3D model, then submit an RFQ.This tool is for visual configuration only. Final dimensions, tolerances, materials, coatings, and manufacturability will be reviewed from your drawing or specification.
Paste a configuration JSON (from Export) or a copied RFQ summary. The product and all recognized parameters are applied automatically; unknown parameters are listed and skipped.
Answer the choices below step by step — every value comes from the real option list, so it always renders.
Save the current configuration under a name and recall it any time on this device.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat if my part does not match any standard process builder?
Use the Custom CNC Machining Builder: choose the metal, shape (including ring or drawing-defined outline), size, thickness, optional holes, slots and finishing, set a tolerance, preview it in 3D and attach a drawing to the RFQ. Our engineers pick the best process route.
Which metals can the custom builder use?
Aluminum, stainless and carbon steels, tool steels, brass, copper, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, Invar/Kovar and nickel alloys, or a named custom alloy such as Inconel 718 or Hastelloy.
CNC Gear Cutting generates or finishes gear tooth geometry to a defined accuracy class. Module, pressure angle, helix and profile shift come straight from your gear data, and tooth form is verified so the gearset runs quietly and carries load as designed.
At VT machining the process runs under full CNC control on calibrated equipment. In practice, that means this: CNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. If you do not have a CAD file yet, the free 3D + 2D builder on this page will produce a drawing we can quote from.
How CNC Gear Cutting Works at VT machining
Tooth profiles are generated in the metal blank by a synchronised cutter, then refined to the required accuracy class. Module, pressure angle and helix are programmed from your gear data.
Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.

Inspection & dispatch
In-process checks plus final inspection, with CMM reports, mill certs and FAIR on request.
CNC Gear Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.

CNC Gear Cutting by Metal — Choose Your Material
Select the alloy you are working in to see material-specific capability, design guidance and applications.
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce metal gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete metal components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Gear Cutting Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on metal parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
