Abstract
A cutting tool has a compressing segment for imparting a compressive force to produce a non-porous surface layer on a workpiece of porous material. The cutting tool also has a cutting segment to machine the non-porous surface layer for a desired surface finish. Furthermore, a method for machining a workpiece using such a cutting tool may be implemented to produce a non-porous surface layer on a workpiece of porous material and then to produce a desired surface finish.
