Cutting Bits

A cutting bit is a tool used in machining, drilling, milling, or shaping operations to remove material from a workpiece.

• It works by shearing, scraping, or grinding material away, creating the desired shape, hole, or surface finish.
• Cutting bits can be single-point (one cutting edge, e.g., lathe tool bits) or multi-point (multiple cutting edges, e.g., drill bits, milling cutters).
• They are made from materials like high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, cobalt alloys, or industrial diamond, depending on the hardness of the material being cut.
