Abstract

An axially extending cutter bit has a shank extending between a trailing end (2, 7) arranged to be inserted into a tool chuck and a leading or working end (5, 8) with the shank between the trailing end and leading end being divided into a first section proceeding from the trailing end and a second section proceeding from the first section to the leading end. The second section is stepped inwardly from the first section. As a result, the energy throughput in passing shock waves is improved and higher material removal rates by the leading or working end are achieved.
