The Gear Works proudly announces its New Crown Jewel. The ultimate in gear grinding technology has just been commissioned at our Seattle facility. Direct from Ludwigsburg, Germany, the Gleason-Pfauter P1600G Gear Grinding Machine is one of the most productive and accurate gear finishing machines ever produced.
The Gear Works has greatly improved its internal spline and keyway broaching service with the recent installation of a 75 HP, 50 ton, horizontal broaching machine with a 72″ stroke . Broaching is a machining process that finishes a simple or complex bore by pulling a multi-tooth tool called a broach through the part. Because the part is finished in one pass, broached parts are inexpensive and true to size.
The Gear Works proudly announces the commissioning of its new 5 Axis Boring Machine, specifically designed for precision boring, milling, drilling and contour machining of large complex parts.
The Gear Works is pleased to announce that recent modifications to its Gleason – Pfauter P1600G gear grinding machine have greatly expanded pinion shaft grinding capacity. Now, large pinion and spline shafts, up to seventeen feet in overall length, can economically obtain profile tooth grinding to AGMA Q-13+ tolerances.
The Gear Works proudly announces the commissioning of its latest investment in world-class measurement technology: The Brown & Sharpe “Global Image” coordinate measuring machine. Model 15-30-10.

The Gear Works is pleased to announce its latest acquisition and installation of world class machining technology: 72″ Giddings and Lewis Vertical Turning & Milling Center. Now, large parts can be turned, milled, drilled, tapped, and inspected in one efficient set-up by utilizing multiple on-board machining functions, such as the 25 H.P. live milling spindle and 12 station tool changer.
The Gear Works is proud to announce the commissioning of additional capacity and productivity in its mid-range gear cutting department with the installation of a Mitsubishi CNC gear hobbing machine, model GB100CNC. Now, gears up to 39” diameter can be cut in small order quantities with the same efficiencies as large lot production. The 33,000-pound machine consists of a robust cast iron frame that insures maximum rigidity when aggressive feed rates are employed. A Fanuc CNC controller insures the accurate synchronization of all five machine axis, including “crowning” capabilities.
