Slot Drill
Typically this cutter has less cutting surfaces than the two above, and unlike the end mill and ripper can be used to plunge directly into the workpiece. As a result of the reduction in cutting surfaces there is better swarf removal meaning the tool can be used in enclosed pockets and slots.

| Slot Drill |
Used for the rapid removal of large amounts of metal, the serations along the cutting edge literally rip the material away. This cutter is designed to cut along it's sides only.
 |
| Ripper Cutter |
Similar to a ripper only without the serations, used for removing the bulk of the material. The cutting edges, like the ripper, are down the sides of the tool.
 |
| End Mill |
This cutter, as its name suggests, has a semi-circular cutting face, with the aid of computer software it is possible to cut tangentially to the work piece enabling curved surfaces to be machined.
