Abstract:
A cutting tool and method of manufacturing a tool including determining desired flowrates to cutting edges. The method includes calculating pressure drop and passage dimensions for each of an nth-number of passages to the cutting edges based on In=(Pn*Ann)/(ρn*Ln), wherein In is nth-passage flow rate, Pn is nth-passage pressure drop, Ann is nth-passage cross-sectional area raised to a power n, the power n being equal to 1 or 0.5, ρn is nth-passage resistivity, and Ln is nth-passage length. The method includes forming the nth-passages in the tool open to each cutting edge based on the nth-passage dimensions.
