Cutting tools and Metalworking
Metalworking tools are conventionally subdivided into the cutting tools (e.g., milling cutters, drills, taps, etc.) directly used for machining (cutting), and the auxiliary tools used to fasten the cutting tools in the spindle of metalworking machine (e.g., chucks, holders, mandrels, etc.). In the field of machining, a cutter or cutting tool is usually a hardened metal tool used to cut, shape, and remove material from a workpiece using machining tools and abrasive tools through shear deformation A cutting tool is a wedge-shaped, sharp-edged tool used to remove excess layers of material from a workpiece by cutting during machining to obtain the desired shape, size, and accuracy. It is firmly attached to the machine tool.
