What are the two basic ways of metal cutting using a single-point cutting tool and a multi-point cutting tool? Correct Answer “Orthogonal” and “Oblique” cutting
Explanation:
- During machining, based on the direction of chip flow and orientation of cutting edge, the machining operation is broadly divided into two types.
- They are as follows:

Orthogonal Cutting |
Oblique Cutting |
|
In orthogonal cutting, the cutting edge is perpendicular to the direction of the tool-travel. |
In oblique cutting, the angle between the cutting edge and direction of tool-travel is less than 90°. |
|
The chip flow angle is zero. |
The chip flow angle is more than zero. |
|
The tool life is less. |
Tool life is more. |

Used in slotting, parting, grooving, pipe cutting. |
Used in turning, milling, drilling, grinding. |
