By confining the expensive hard cutting tip to the part doing the actual cutting, the cost of tooling is reduced. The supporting tool holder can then be made from a tougher steel better suited to the task. This makes the tooling cheaper as not all of it is affected by the immediate wear on the cutting tool and does not need to be replaced as frequently, major accidents aside. The tool holders may also be designed to introduce additional properties to the cutting action, such as Angular approach - direction of tool travel. ...
