Fette's High Quality Hobs are Now Made In the U.S.A.


Cleveland, OH - (June 21, 2006) With the establishment of a new LMT U.S. hob manufacturing and service facility in the midwest, customers can expect the same Fette world-class hobs to be precision-manufactured for their specific and extreme application demands - now in Libertyville, IL.

Featuring the finest base materials, unique tooth geometries and Fette ingenuity, Fette hobs offer unparalleled efficiency and tool life. Fette manufactures hobs to the highest possible tolerances, including Class AAA and beyond.

Reinforcing LMT's commitment to the North American market, LMT offers quick quotations, approval drawings and delivery to its customers. The first phase of this new plant will handle the production of ground hobs 8DP to 30DP. Hob re-sharpening and re-profiling services are also available at this location for hobs up to 9" diameter.

Fette offers a complete program of Hobs including the widest range of hobs available in North America with a full range of pitch sizes in premium powdered metal, solid carbide and indexable hobbing solutions. Included are Fette's Fine Pitch Hobs featuring premium grade cutting materials. Heavy-Duty Roughing (Broach Tooth) Hobs from Fette feature a deep and shallow tooth geometry with alternating gashes for increased tool life and feed rates, as well as a reduced hammering effect. Fette also offers Expansion Chucks that allow shank style tools to easily adapt to machines with changeable arbors. Additionally from Fette, the Chamfer Cut Tool can chamfer and deburr on a hobbing machine in one setup. No secondary operations are required, saving manufacturing time, capital and tooling costs. Twist free hobs and internally cooled hobs are the latest addition of hob technology to the Fette complete hob line.
