- The round head cutter is the most common head for cutting tools. It allows for the maximum amount of ‘metal’ behind the cutting edge delivering an extremely long tool life.
- The tapered head was developed to allow the cutting tool to get into those “hard to reach” areas. It was designed more along diagonal lines with less “metal” behind the cutting edge.
- The tapered/relieved head allows for the most access to “hard to reach” areas. In addition to having a diagonal profile, the face has been relieved allowing even greater access.
