Abstract
An anvil for a cutting tool includes an anvil body. A curved passage extends from an inlet opening in the anvil body to an outlet opening in the anvil body. The anvil body can be made by an additive manufacturing process. The anvil body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface between the top surface and the bottom surface. The side surface includes at least three side surface portions and at least three corner portions. Each corner portion is disposed between respective pairs of the side surface portions. At least one corner portion includes a surface that extends radially outward from a central axis of the anvil relative to extensions of a respective pair of side surface portions. The central axis extends between the top and bottom surfaces, wherein the extensions of the respective pair of side surface portions intersect within the periphery of the anvil.
