The cutting edge is larger than cutting width. The cutting edge may or may not be larger than cutting
width.
Chips are in the form of a spiral coil. Chip flow is in a sideways direction.
High heat concentration at cutting region. Less concentration of heat at cutting region compared
to orthogonal cutting.
For a given feed and depth of cutting, the force acts on Force is acting on a large area, results in more tool life.
a small area as compared with oblique cutting, so tool
life is less.
Used in grooving, parting, slotting, pipe cutting. Used almost all industrial cutting, used in drilling,
grinding, milling.
