Abstract:
A system for simultaneously forming multiple flutes in a carbide rotary cutting tool includes a chuck adapted to grasp a green rod member and selectively rotate the green rod member about, and translate the green rod member along, a first axis. The system further includes a mechanism adapted to simultaneously machine multiple flutes in the green rod member as the green rod member is rotated about, and translated along, the first axis.
