Single Point Cutting tool

 As it’s name indicates, a tool that has

a single point for cutting purpose is
called single point cutting tool.
 Single point cutting tool consists of
only one main cutting edge that can
perform material removal action at a
time in a single pass.
 Single-Point cutting tools are used in
turning, shaping, Planning ang similar
operatins.
Milling Cutters
 Milling cutters are cutting tools typically used in milling machines or machining
centers to perform milling operations (and occasionally in other machine tools). They
remove material by their movement within the machine (e.g., a ball nose mill) or
directly from the cutter's shape.
 A face milling cutters is used to produce flat surfaces.
 Rough end mill cutters are used to quickly remove large amounts of material during
heavier operations.
 Slab Mill is used when you have to remove more amount of material from the work
piece.
  Thread mills cutters are used for cutting internal and external threads.
 Fly cutters are basically rotary tools that use one or more single point tools for plane
surfacing.
 A hobbing cutter is used to make gears. A hobbing machine is a milling variant used to
cut sprockets, gears, and splined parts using a specialist cutting tool known as a hob. 
 Dovetail cutters are specialized tools for cutting a dovetail angled grooves into a
workpiece and are used for fitting or joining parts.

Drill and Allied tools
 Drill or drilling machine is a tool primarily used for making round holes or
driving fasteners.
 It is fitted with a bit, either a drill or driver, depending on application,
secured by a chuck. Some powered drills also include a hammer function.
 Drills are very widely in speed, power, and size.
 Drills are commonly used in wood working, metal working,
 construction, machine tool fabrication, construction and utility projects.
Specially designed versions are made for medicine, space, and miniature
applications.

Broaches
 Broaching is a metal cutting operation using a toothed tool known as broach.
 There is two type of broaching
(1) linear broaching
(2) rotary broaching.
 In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run
linearly against a surface of the workpiece to effect the tool.
 In rotary broaching, the broach is rotated (using lathe and screw machine)
and then pressed against the workpiece to cut predetermined shape.
 The broaching further classified into internal, external, push, pull, vertical,
horizontal etc. following figure shows the common internal cutting using
broach.
 Some industries which widely uses Broaches are Fasteners and gears,
Automotive, Agriculture, Industrial manufacturing, Oil and gas, Heavy
equipment, Automotive.
Broaches
 Broaching is used when precision
machining is required, especially for
odd shapes.
 Commonly machined surfaces include
circular and non-circular holes,
splines, keyways, and flat surfaces.
 Typical workpieces include small to
medium-sized castings, forging, screw
machine parts, and stamping.
 Even though broaches can be
expensive, broaching is usually
favored over other processes when
used for high-quantity production
runs.
Gear Generation Tools
 Gear generating involves gear cutting
through the relative motion of a
rotating cutting tool and the
generating, or rotational, motion of
the workpiece.
 The two primary generating processes
are hobbing and shaping. Hobbing
uses a helically fluted cutting tool
called a hob.
 Gear manufacturing refers to the
making of gears. Gears can be
manufactured by a variety of
processes, including casting, forging,
extraction, powered metallurgy, and
blanking.
