Abstract

Cutting tool, such as a gun reamer or a drill, with a rotating cutting blade and a rotating support member for supporting the workpiece, where at least one of the cutting blade and the support member are selectively biased. The selective bias on the blade and/or the support member is preferably effected by selectively pressurized fluid which bears on the blade member and/or the support member.
