NC technology use, first of all in milling, turning and drilling operations, is widely dispersed at present. Development of these technologies depends to some extent on the cutting tools which are to be produced and sharpened to a high quality. Usable properties of the cutting tools, e.g. the shape accuracy, the quality of function surfaces, etc., are inspired by the production technology used. This technology plays a main role in production and sharpening of powerful and complex shaped cutting tools.
