Abstract
A fly cutter cutting tool is disclosed by this invention. The fly cutter cutting tool has a mounting shaft and a cutting base in a T-arrangement to provide a counter-balance. The carbide insert is attached to the working end. The working end has a rake angle to aid in clearing chips from beneath the tool holder and aid in the cutting process. The working end also has a hood to create a downward angle to deflect machined chips to prevent fouling of the work piece during cutting. The mounting shaft is attached to the cutting base at a perpendicular or a substantially perpendicular angle.

A fly cutter cutting tool comprising:
- a) the fly cutter cutting tool having a two piece assembly comprising a mounting shaft and a cutting base;
- b) the cutting base having both a working end and a counter-balance end;
- c) the working end accepting a carbide insert;
- d) the mounting shaft and the cutting base forming a T-arrangement;
- e) the mounting shaft being perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the cutting base;
