CA, CA (prHWY.com) March 30, 2013 - California, Mar 30, 2013 - Metal Cutting Tools are made from tool steel which refers to a range of alloy and carbon steels, that have the right properties and are well suited to be made into metal cutting tools. The distinctive hardness of these steels, their ability to hold a cutting edge and their resistance to deformation at high temperatures makes them ideal.

Metal cutting tools are generally used in a heat treated state. The tool steel used for metal cutting tools, are made to a different number of grades, and choice of grade depends on whether a keen cutting edge is necessary. The higher grade carbon steels are typically used for applications such as stamping dies or metal cutting tools.

Metal cutting tools are used widely in industry and are used for the cutting, shaping and removal of unwanted metal. Cutting tools such as drill bits and reamers are used for cutting holes through various metals, while other metal cutting tools such as dies and taps, are used to cut screw threads.

There are many different types of metal cutting tools which are used for a wide variety of purposes, and some of the more common ones can include;

Drilling is a rotary cutting operation for producing holes. The tool most widely used for this purpose is the twist drill. The twist drill has helical cutting edges which when rotated and fed forward into the material under pressure, will cut away chips of the metal which are removed from the hole by the helical flutes which run along most of its length.

Milling is another important process, in which the workpiece is shaped by means of a rotating cutter provided with a number of teeth or cutting edges. Usually the material is fed against the milling cutter either longitudinal, transverse or vertical. Milling machines are very versatile and can be used for a great variety of work, including screw thread cutting. In circular milling the the cutter and workpiece are rotated; in straight milling the cutter rotates and the workpiece performs a straight feed motion.
