Abstract
A composite machining tool includes a tool body with at least one cutting edge and at least one grinding region. The grinding region is located adjacent to the cutting edge such that there is a gap between the grinding region and the cutting edge and such that when the tool performs a machining action the cutting edge and the grinding region act together on a material surface.
Claims12
A composite machining tool comprising:
- a tool body with at least one cutting edge and at least one grinding region, wherein the grinding region is located adjacent to the cutting edge such that there is a gap between the grinding region and the cutting edge and such that when the tool performs a machining action the cutting edge and the grinding region act together on a material surface, and wherein the grinding region is positioned on the tool body such that it increases in depth in a direction away from the cutting edge.
A method of machining composites, comprising:
- providing a composite machining tool including a tool body with at least one cutting edge and at least one grinding region, wherein the grinding region is located adjacent to the cutting edge such that there is a gap between the grinding region and the cutting edge, and wherein the grinding region is positioned on the tool body such that it increases in depth in a direction away from the cutting edge;
- and
- applying the composite machining tool to a composite material such that when the tool performs a machining action on the composite material, a cutting edge and a grinding region of the tool act together on a surface of the composite material.
