Abstract: The present invention provides a gear cutter for creating a bevel gear comprising a reusable cutter body surrounded by one or more reusable blades. The cutter body comprises a low grade machine steel, thereby significantly reducing costs. The removable blades comprise a high grade tool steel. Slots formed around the perimeter of the cutter body receive the blades, while openings drilled through the cutter body allow attachment with a gear cutting machine. When the blades are spent, they are removed from the cutter body and replaced with new blades. Reusing the cutter body in this manner significantly reduces waste and material costs.
