Cutting Tools
Also known as “single point cutting tool”, tool bits are widely used in metal lathes, planers and shapers. A tool bit is a non-rotary cutting equipment. To suit a specific machining or cutting operation, the cutting edge of the tool bit is restructured and resharpened accordingly. A tool holder holds the ground tool bit rigidly while it is cutting. Nowadays, in most cutting applications, the materilas used in the making of tool bits are high-speed steel (HSS) or sintered carbide. Sometimes diamond, ceramics and carbide are used as well.
