A single-point cutting tool is so named because it only has one edge, unlike a multi-point cutting tool, which has multiple edges. On lathes and milling machines , single-point cutting tools are frequently used for turning, facing, and boring operations. Typically, the tool’s body is made of a more durable, more flexible material, such as steel . In contrast, the cutting edge is made of a hard, wear-resistant material, such as tungsten carbide or ceramic. Tool cutting edges are shaped and ground to produce the desired geometry, such as sharp points for drilling and rounded noses for turning. There are many factors that influence the cutting properties of tools, including their surface finish, accuracy ...
