Abstract
A cutting tool for a machine tool is provided in order to cut an inside corner of a workpiece. The cutting tool has at least one cutting edge formed on its bottom. In operation, the cutting tool is rotated by the machine tool. Further, both cutting tool and workpiece move relatively to each other in accordance with the rotating angle of the cutting tool so that the cutting tool has its outer end describing a moving track in agreement with the contour of an inside corner of the workpiece. The cutting tool further moves along the direction of a rotating axis of the cutting tool in rotation.
