Cutting tools are used in production for margin removal and the formation of surfaces and dimensions in accordance with the required quality and properties of machine parts. Especially in automated production, tool operation determines the efficiency and competitiveness of technological processes. The following stages are recommended for tool selection and design. (1) Analysis of the design for technological feasibility (2) and calculation of the tool parameters and dimensions. (3) Selection of the basic characteristics (productivity, (4) working life, machining precision, etc.); assessment (5) of the effectiveness of several tool designs in practice and selection of the optimal design; determination of the tool's applicability in technological processes [1-3]. (3) Determination of the optimal cutting conditions and the economical tool life in specified technological processes, with allowance for the required precision and quality of machining, probable faults, and the operational reliability. (4) Calculation of the cost of the technological process, in the light of the selected equipment, worker competence, cutting conditions, tool cost, and other factors. (5) Final selection of the tool design for the given technological process and calculation of the overall cost of the process and the blanks employed. In implementing those stages, it is expedient to use the recommendations and design methods proposed in [2, 4, 5].
