Abstract
A cutting tool having a blade section on one end is mounted on a spindle of a cutting machine, and the blade section is contacted with a workpiece to perform planing of the workpiece into a desired shape. Because the tip of the blade section is disposed on the spindle axis, the position of the cutting edge is controlled by performing drive control of the X-axis and Y-axis of the spindle. Thus, the control of the cutting machine is simplified, and path errors resulting from synchronous control can be eliminated.
