Why is 303 Stainless Steel a good choice for CNC Gear Cutting?
303 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, which makes it well suited to CNC Gear Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 303 Stainless Steel gear cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Gear Cutting 303 Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 303 Stainless Steel gear cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Gear Cutting 303 Stainless Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 303 Stainless Steel gear cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Gear Cutting 303 Stainless Steel and how is it done?
CNC Gear Cutting 303 Stainless Steel refers to cNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. Applied to 303 Stainless Steel — corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
