Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for gear shaping rather than hobbing process
Gear shaping machines use different cutting principle, classify under 8462.
If specialized for semiconductor test equipment gears
Statistical notes move semiconductor-specific machines to Chapter 84 heading 8479.
If configured for cermet rather than metal working
Other machine tools working cermets but not specified elsewhere go to 8461.90.
