A face milling cutter method for manufacturing various hypocycloidal bevel gears that is characterized in that the following steps are performed to manufacture a first bevel gear: equipping a universal face milling cutter in a first configuration with a first number of cutter groups that corresponds to a first number of passes. A first bevel gear is then produced in the continuous partial method using the universal face milling cutter in the first configuration. The following steps are performed to manufacture a second bevel gear: equipping the same universal face milling cutter in a second configuration with a second number of cutter groups that corresponds to a second number of passes. The second bevel gear is then produced in the continuous partial method using the universal face milling cutter in the second configuration.
A method of producing a plurality of bevel gears having longitudinal flank lines defined by a hypocycloid, comprising:
A method of producing at least two bevel gears having hypocycloidal longitudinal flank lines, comprising producing the at least two bevel gears with a face cutter head in a continuous indexing milling method, the face cutter head comprising first receptacle openings for receiving a maximum number of bar cutters situated along a first cutter head nominal circle defining a first cutter head nominal radius, wherein the number of first receptacle openings is divisible at least once by a whole number greater than or equal to two;
