Abstract
The cutting tool shown generally as 1, has a disc with a peripheral cutting face. In this embodiment the cutting face includes an array of eight circumferentially spaced teeth 2. An open circumferential gutter 5 is located inboard of the teeth and is recessed into a lateral face of the disc. Fluid in the gutter drains into the passageways through the respective inlets under the apparent force due to rotation. A fluid passageway 9 runs between the gutter and the base of the each tooth. The fluid is thereby forced through the passageway and out of outlet 11.
