Flute (cutting tool)

Flute (cutting tool)

A cutting tool flute is a recessed portion of the tool's cross-section that conveys chips away from a cutting edge as the tool rotates. In the common twist drill, two flutes are usually provided, one for each cutting edge. Taps and end mills may have three or four cutting edges and flutes.
