Fly cutter

A fly cutter is a versatile machining tool used to create smooth surfaces on workpieces. It typically consists of a single-point cutting tool mounted on a rotating spindle, allowing for precise material removal. Fly cutters are often employed in milling operations to produce flat surfaces, slots, or contours with high accuracy and surface finish.

Using a fly cutter involves mounting the workpiece securely and adjusting the tool's speed and depth of cut for optimal results. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a popular choice for tasks requiring precise surface finishing in various industries, from metalworking to woodworking.
