Gear shaving is a free-cutting gear-finishing operation which removes small amounts of metal from the working surfaces of the gear teeth.

Gear shaving is used for finishing and for improving profile accuracy. Shaving is accomplished by using both rotary and rack-type cutters whose teeth are serrated with many small notches or cutting edges. The axis of the cutters is set at a slight angle to the axis of the workpiece so that, as the two are rolled together, the notched cutter teeth shave the gear teeth.
