Excerpt from Cemented-Carbide Tools: Carbides and Bonding Agents Used for Metal Cutting, the Design, Care and Maintenance of Tipped Tools Although. Some years have now elapsed since the introduction of the hard carbides as cutting - tool materials, it would be unwise to say that the materials used, the shapes and angles of tools, and their applications have reached the stage whence no further change in development may be expected. It will be noticed that scant reference is made to negative - rake cutting. This omission is due to the now fairly - established position of negative - rake cutting as, a separate technique which is dealt with in a companion volume of the present publication. With regard to the information contained in Chapter 6, we are grateful for the help freely given by the carbide manufacturers and suppliers.
