Dedicated Precision Facility
Advanced grinding, inspection, and process control for DIN AA/AAA gear tooling.
Gear cutting tool
P-Series PM-HSS Power Skiving Tools
High-speed carbide isn't always the answer. For soft, ductile materials or setups prone to vibration, you need a tool that forgives. The Nobeve P-Series is crafted from premium Austrian BÖHLER Powder Metallurgy High-Speed Steel (PM-HSS). Protected by Oerlikon Balzers BALINIT® ALTENSA , it bridges the gap between shaping and carbide skiving, offering reliable DIN AA precision without the brittleness of solid carbide.

P-Series PM-HSS Power Skiving Cutters
High-speed carbide isn't always the answer. For soft, ductile materials or setups prone to vibration, you need a tool that forgives. The Nobeve P-Series is crafted from premium Austrian BÖHLER Powder Metallurgy High-Speed Steel (PM-HSS).
Austrian DNA: BÖHLER Substrate
We utilize imported BÖHLER solid round bars from Austria. Unlike conventional HSS, this third-generation Powder Metallurgy material features a fine, isotropic microstructure.
Optimized Conical Geometry
We specifically recommend the Conical design for our P-Series. This geometry provides superior clearance angles compared to cylindrical types.
Balzers ALTENSA Shield
Skiving generates heat. To counter this, every P-Series tool is coated with BALINIT® ALTENSA.
Turn-Mill Compatibility
Designed for versatility, the P-Series is compatible with both dedicated skiving machines and Turn-Mill composite machines.
Expert Technical FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of P-Series (PM-HSS) over Carbide?
Toughness and Cost. The P-Series uses BÖHLER PM-HSS, which is far less brittle than carbide. This makes it more resistant to chipping in unstable conditions or when machining sticky materials, all at a lower upfront cost.
What materials can I cut with the P-Series?
It is optimized for soft and ductile materials with hardness ≤ HRC
Can I run these tools dry?
No. The P-Series requires Oil Cooling. Oil is essential to lubricate the cutting edge, prevent built-up edge (BUE) on soft materials, and flush chips away to protect the coating.
My machine isn't a dedicated gear skiver. Can I use the P-Series?
Yes. The P-Series is designed for Turn-Mill composite machines as well as skiving machines. Its high toughness makes it more forgiving of the slight vibrations sometimes found in multi-tasking centers compared to rigid gear hobbers.
What is the recommended cutting speed?
We recommend a Vc of 60–150 m/min. While slower than carbide, this speed is safe for the HSS substrate and significantly faster than traditional gear shaping.
Why do you recommend the Conical design for P-Series?
The Conical structure provides better clearance angles and structural strength. For PM-HSS, this design leverages the material's toughness to further reduce the probability of tooth chipping (崩齿) when cutting soft materials.
How does the BALINIT® ALTENSA coating help?
ALTENSA provides high hot hardness and thermal stability. It acts as a thermal barrier, allowing the PM-HSS substrate to withstand the heat generated at skiving speeds without softening immediately.
Can Nobeve manufacture custom shank sizes for my machine?
Yes. We offer standard Morse Taper (MT2-MT3), Straight Shank (ST20-ST32), and Bore type mountings. We can also customize the tool dimensions based on your specific machine interface.

Testimonials
What Our Client’s Say
David L.
Manufacturing Engineer Hydraulic Components
“We run a DMG and needed to add gear cutting to a steel shaft project. We tried carbide, but the vibration was an issue. Nobeve's P-Series handled the interrupted cut perfectly at 120 m/min. The BÖHLER substrate is genuinely tough.”
Sven J.
Production Manager General Machinery
“We produce ring gears in 20CrMnTi (normalized). The P-Series gives us DIN AA quality at a fraction of the cost of carbide skiving tools. We are getting excellent life after regrinding too.”
Mike C. Workshop SupervisorAutomotive Prototypes
Customer
“We had issues with teeth chipping on our prototype line. The Nobeve engineer suggested switching to the Conical P-Series. The toughness difference is real—no more random breakages, just predictable wear.”
