A cutting tool for use in lathes and screw machines which comprises a plurality of discrete cutter sections (9, 11, 12, 13, 14) fixed in side-by-side relationship so that they can all simultaneously act upon a single workpiece. The use of separate cutter sections rather than an integral cutter allows for ready replacement of damaged or worn cutter sections without scrapping the whole cutter and allows cutters having a complex form to be assembled from a small number of standardized cutter sections. An automatic tool assembly apparatus is provided for assembling such cutting tools from their component parts. |
