Abstract
MR. MALLOCK'S theory of cutting tools (NATURE, August 26, p. 277) is extremely illuminating, but the term “Coefficient of Friction” in his final paragraph seems scarcely justified, as it would imply that the shearing force is always in the same direction and thus independent of the material being cut, of the depth of the cut, rate of feed and tool angles.
