High frequency tooth pass cutting method

摘要

A method for cutting metal includes providing a rotating cutting tool and making a first cut in the material using a first tooth of the cutting tool, such that an amount of heat is conducted into the material. A second cut is made in the material using a second tooth of the cutting tool, before the heat dissipates from the material. The time between the first cut and the second cut is such that the heat softens the material and allows the second tooth to more easily cut the material.
