miniToolsCoating present the production of carbide stick blades: square sections for Oerlikon cutter heads and pentagonal types for Gleason cutter heads
Stick blades are supplied in 3 different conditions:
- Stick blades without profile: end users can realize active profile according to their own bevel gear project.
- Stick blades with roughed profile: end users save a lot of time when sharpening. The profile is exactly the same as the finished one, with approximately 0,3mm stock removal material.
- Stick blades with finished profile and PVD coating: end users can directly assemble the cutter head. The profile is realized with original Klingelnberg B27 blade sharpening machine in cloosed loop with Klingelnberg BC12 blade checker, using the bevel gear project files .KIP or .SPA


- Stick blades with finished profile, with roughed profile, without profile
- Barrette per dischi porta lame tipo Gleason
- Produzione di barrette in metallo duro
All the grinding operations are executed with modern CNC machines, using diamond grinding wheels with high-pressure cutting fluid jets, ultrafine filtration and controlled temperature, in order to prevent the thermal drift of the machine and maintain very narrow tolerances, in addition to avoid dangerous overheating of the parts.
Stick blade sharpening
The roughing operations are carried out by using specific sharpening machines and with the use of robot loader. We make sure that the sharpening of each stick blade is accurate to a few micrometres by comparing it with a master stick blade approved by the customer.
Using automatic loaders as well, we can machine several batches of stick blades with high precision and very short delivery times.


Carbide stick blades are produced with very narrow tolerances and high precision squareness and flatness, in order to ensure optimum performance when they are mounted on blade holding discs.
