Cutting tools are the tools or machinery used to cut the piece of the material by the single or multiple pointed tools. The multiple pointed tools are mostly used for drilling, grinding and milling whereas the single pointed tools are used for shaping and cutting purposes. Cutting tools are made of a very hard material from the materials that needs to be cut. It should also have enough resistance to resist the over-heating. Some of those materials of the cutting tool are:

• Cermet- it is a stable material and not very expensive.

• Cemented Carbide- it is a stable material and not much expensive. It is commonly used in huge industries and factories. It has a high rate of resistance to the abrasion. It is commonly used in saw blades.

• Diamond- This is a very expensive material and stable. It is resistant to abrasion but is unsuitable for steel machining.

• Cobalt Alloys- it is expensive and stable. It has low hardness and can’t be used for high speed of machining. The cutting of the sharp edges is possible through this material.

The manufacturers of these tools have to consider ...
... many things to increase the working ability of these tools. Some of the types of

cutting tools are:

 Metal Cutting tools- the tools for cutting the metal have to be very hard and strong.
