Soft turning and gear milling are performed before the case hardening process, where the challenge is often to acquire close dimensional tolerances. A careful preparation for the ***hardened stage*** gives a relatively straight-forward hard part turning operation.​

***Soft stage***

The gear wheel is usually forged and the turning operation allows for high cutting data as long as the machining process is secure. To ensure efficient chip breaking and a smooth process, use optimized geometries for the roughing and finishing operations. The wiper insert is a real productivity booster and allows for even higher cutting feeds to reduce the cycle time.
