Industrial Cutters for Machining Applications
A cutting tool or cutter is any tool that removes material from the workpiece by means of shear deformation. Cutting may be accomplished by single-point or multi-point tools. Single-point tools remove material by means of a single cutting edge and are used in turning, shaping, planing, and similar operations.
Multi-point tools are cutting tools that are equipped with teeth or two or more cutting edges. Multi-point tools are generally used during milling and drilling operations. Because the cutting depth is distributed among all the edges and teeth, material is reduced more quickly, which increases productivity.
