Portable Cutting Tool
Debra Necochea
In the context of machining, a cutting tool or cutter is typically a hardened metal tool that is used to cut, shape, and remove material from a workpiece by means of machining tools as well as abrasive tools by way of shear deformation. The majority of these tools are designed exclusively for metals.
There are several different types of single-edge cutting tools that are made from a variety of hardened metal alloys that are ground to a specific shape in order to perform a specific part of the turning process resulting in a finished machined part. Single-edge cutting tools are used mainly in the turning operations performed by a lathe in which they vary in size as well as alloy composition depending on the size and the type of material being turned. These cutting tools are held stationary by what is known as a tool post, which is what manipulates the tools to cut the material into the desired shape. Single-edge cutting tools are also the means of cutting material performed by shaping machines and planing machines, which remove material by means of one cutting edge.
Milling and drilling tools are often multipoint tools. Drilling is exclusively used to make holes in a workpiece. All drill bits have two cutting edges that are ground into two equally tapered angles which cuts through the material by applying downward rotational force. Endmills or milling bits, which also cut material by rotational force. Although these tools are not made to put holes in a workpiece. They cut by horizontal shear deformation in which the workpiece is brought into the tool as it's rotating. This is known as the tool path which is determined by the axis of the table that is holding the workpiece in place. This table is designed to accept a variety of vises and clamping tools so that it can move into the cutter at various angles and directions while the workpiece remains still. There are several different types of endmills that perform a certain type of milling action.
Grinding stones are tools that contain several different cutting edges which encompasses the entirety of the stone. Unlike metallic cutting tools, these grinding stones never go dull. In fact the formation of cutting edges of metallic cutting tools are achieved by the use of grinding wheels and other hard abrasives. There are several different types of grinding stone wheels that are used to grind several different types of metals. Although these stones are not metal, they need to be harder than the metal that they grind. In contrast to the grinding stone, if the hardness of the metal exceeds that of the stone, the metal will cut the stone. This is not ideal. [1] Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip.
Cutting tool materials must be harder than the material which is to be cut, and the tool must be able to withstand the heat and force generated in the metal-cutting process. Also, the tool must have a specific geometry, with clearance angles designed so that the cutting edge can contact the workpiece without the rest of the tool dragging on the workpiece surface. The angle of the cutting face is also important, as is the flute width, number of flutes or teeth, and margin size. In order to have a long working life, all of the above must be optimized, plus the speeds and feeds at which the tool is run.
Linear cutting tools include tool bits (single-point cutting tools) and broaches. Rotary cutting tools include drill bits, countersinks and counterbores, taps and dies, reamers, and cold saw blades. Other cutting tools, such as bandsaw blades, hacksaw blades, and fly cutters, combine aspects of linear and rotary motion
Cutting tools are often designed with inserts or replaceable tips (tipped tools). In these, the cutting edge consists of a separate piece of material, either brazed, welded or clamped on to the tool body. Common materials for tips include cemented carbide, polycrystalline diamond, and cubic boron nitride.[2] Tools using inserts include milling cutters (endmills, fly cutters), tool bits, and saw blades.
One of the most important cutting edge parameters is the K factor. It specifies the form of the cutting edge. 1 means a symmetric cutting edge. If the value is smaller than 1 the form is called a waterfall. If the value is larger than 1 it is called a trumpet. Depending on the material being cut, feed rate and other factors, a cutting tool with the optimum K factor should be used.
The principle behind the simple and robust Quickseal is easy to understand: The cutting action deforms the aluminum collar, squeezing the tube and compressing the tubing walls together to create an aseptic seal. Sealing time is less than 4 seconds.
I selected the cutter geometry for one of the objects and used Edit>Cut to cut it to the clipboard. Then I opened the object for editing and used Paste in place. The cutter is now inside the object. Select the geometry and use Intersect Faces>With Selection. Then erase the waste . Repeat for the other one in the same way.

There are various extensions that will slice a model in a variety of ways.
But it is such a fundamental of sketchup you need to get your head around it.
Here is a very simple shape, grouped. I position a face through the group, then enter the group for editing so that I am in the context of the groups faces. Triple click to select them all, then right click to choose Intersect faces with Model. This allows the external face to create edges within the faces inside the group. I select half of them and group them (the menu item offscreen) to easily separate them from the other half. Then trace an edge or two to infill the missing face. It takes far longer to type than to do.
I would say the fastest way to make a cut operation, much faster than these native options, is to use a plugin called s4u slice and s4u multi slice. They are two different plugins, they both have a cut tool, a detach tool, a slice tool, the only difference is one plugin has single cut and detaching, slicing, and the other can do multiple cuts, slicing, detaching. These are incredible time savers and you can instantly split anything you want. I use these tools ALL the time in my design workflow. This plugin alone has been a massive game changer for me.

i have found the size of the cut tool to be a bit large and hard to fit in certain areas i cant seem to find a way to scale the size of the cut window, i think it would be very beneficial to get into tight areas you desire to cut
I think his issue in the example image he provided is that he wants to be able to cut one feature of the same model without cutting another feature on the same plane.
Using his example:
Maybe he wants to cut the head of the trident without cutting the head of the creature.

The AutoShift Slim cutting tool enables safe remote drum decoking by removing the operator from the cutting deck. Mode shifting is accomplished automatically and remotely by water pressurization and depressurization, not manually as with other tools. Benefits include:
An optional cutting tool enclosure (drill stem guide and shroud) provides an additional measure of safety by diverting dangerous water flow away from the cutting deck in the unlikely event a pressurized cutting tool is retracted from the drum or energized while stowed.
To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
So, you certainly wouldn't need to pay a monthly fee to get a knife tool, you just need to buy the additional application in the Affinity suite if you don't already own it. And if you do already own it, you just need to switch Personas to do that operation.
