Abstract
In the recent years, Face gear becomes an alternative mechanical element of Bevel gear or Hypoid gear due to easy for assembling. In this paper, we propose new tool specialized for the cutting face gear flank. This tool is constructed from spur gear that has same axial plane tooth profile as a helical pinion gear meshed with a face gear to be cut. This tool synchronously rotates with face gear blank and feeds the tool axis to cut face gear flank. Its cutting edge appears on spur gear axial profile and this edge scrapes face gear flank by synchronous rotation and feeding. This method can be applied for producing face gear which meshes a pinion gear on arbitrary angle without outstanding difficulty.
