    Given: Number of teeth = 30, module = 5 mm

    Formula: Tool width = m T sin 90° /T

    here, m = module and T = number of teeth


    Solution:

    Tool width = m T sin 90° /T

    Substituting the given values we get,

    Tool width = 5 x 30 sin (90° / 30)

    = 7.850 mm

    Tool width of the flank is 7.850 mm.
