Cutting Tools

Cutting tools are instruments used to remove material from a workpiece through shear deformation. They can be classified into single-point and multi-point tools, each suited for specific machining tasks. Common materials for cutting tools include high-speed steel, carbide, and ceramics, which provide durability and hardness. Tool geometry, including edge angles and coatings, significantly influences performance and efficiency. These tools are essential in manufacturing, construction, and various industrial applications.
