A member of the FUNDAMENTALS OF TOOL DESIGN SERIES Cutting tools have many shapes, each of which is described by its angles or geometry. This program explores single-point and multi-point cutting tool geometries as well as the machining variables that affect the cutting tool design. -The single-point cutting tool design segment details indexable insert geometries, chip-breaker designs and toolholders for use in turning operations. -The multi-point cutting tool design segment examines both linear travel and rotary travel multi-point tools, featuring an in-depth look at the: * broach * twist drill * face mill
