Development of novel tool for cutting of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (Positive use of abrasive wear at tool edge for reduction in cutting force)

This paper describes a novel design concept for a tool for cutting carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. The cutting tool, which is termed a two-layer tool, was fabricated from two materials with a spatial distribution of hardness around the tool edge. In the two-layer tool, the rake fa...
