Tongue and groove is a method of fitting similar objects together, edge to edge. Tongue and groove techniques are really evident among hardwood flooring. Tongue and Groove is used mainly with wood; flooring, parquetry, panelling and so on. Tongue and Groove is basically a way of fitting pieces together, somewhat like a puzzle. Tongue and groove boards were also used for sheathing buildings and to construct concrete formwork before plywood became more common. Tongue and Groove has been a technique used for many years and its popularity still is evident in many industries. Custom Cutting Tools specializes in creating tongue and groove bits for individual companies specific needs.
Mill to Pattern is a type of cutterhead or knife. Custom Cutting Tools creates mill to pattern cutterheads to meet the needs of what their clients are looking for. Custom Cutting Tools creates mill to pattern cutterheads for specific jobs and companies specific needs. Proper cutting tools, including mill to pattern and machine alignment are the two most important areas for success. Selecting the right cutterheads and knives for each job and type of machine is the most critical decision you have to make on a regular basis.
A form tool is precision-ground into a pattern that resembles the part to be formed. A form tool can be used as a single operation and therefore eliminate many other operations from the slides. Form Tools provide "foundation" of sorts to create the needed part. Form Tools are used to create the specific characteristics of each part that needs to be made. Before the use of form tools, diameters were turned by multiple slide and turret operations, which meant more work to make the part. Now form tool turn only one or more diameters while feeding into the work. For example, a form tool can turn many diameters and in addition can also cutoff the part in a single operation and eliminate indexing the turret.Form tools can be made of cobalt, carbide, or high-speed steel. Form tools are an intregal part in pattern making and are used to create several important parts including shift knobs for motorcycles.
CCT makes recess tool from tool steel and carbide. These recess tools are designed using Autocad. CCT designs these recess tools to cut simple to complex parts varying upon each customers needs. All CCT recess tools are manufactured using CNC Tools.
A cutting tool, is any tool that is used to remove metal from the workpiece by means of shear deformation. A cutting tool frequently refers to a tool bit. Cutting tools must be made of a material harder than the material which is to be cut, and they must be able to withstand the heat generated in the metal cutting process. Cutting tools also must have a specific geometry, designed so that the cutting edge can contact the workpiece without the rest of the tool dragging on its surface. The angle of the cutting tool's cutting face is also an important element. Some examples of cutting tools would be; Broach cutting tools, endmill cutting tools, reamer cutting tools, drill bit cutting tools and tool bit cutting tools
