Abstract
Abstract A cutting tool bit has at least one cutting edge formed by an abutment edge between an end face and a side face; a cutting face adjoining the cutting edge and more than two chip breaker steps bounded by step edges and extending approximately parallel to the length dimension of the cutting edge and ascending from the cutting face towards the bit center. The chip breaker steps are arranged in a terraced manner and each step edge has a wavy shape along its length.
