Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a cutting tool (1, 1', 15) having a base body (2, 16) and at least one cutting body (3, 3', 3""), comprising:moving said base body (2, 16) of the cutting tool (1, 1', 15) during the manufacture of the at least one cutting body (3, 3', 3"")depositing a substance (4) containing particles of cutting material (12) on a substrate surface (5, 5', 5"") of the moved base body (2, 16), by subsequently depositing said substance (4) onto consecutive sections (17', 17"") of the substrate surface (5, 5', 5"") along a direction of movement of said base body (2, 16),the substance (4) being melted with a laser and united with the substrate surface (5, 5', 5"") while solidifying to form the cutting body (3, 3', 3"") and wherein the particles of cutting material (12) are uniformly distributed in the substrate (4);wherein each of said sections (17', 17""), at least during a setting time for said solidifying of the substance (4) deposited thereon by said movement of the base body (2, 16), is displaced in such a direction opposite to that of force of gravity (G) that a surface normal line (26) of the section (17, 17"") of the substrate surface (5, 5', 5"") and the direction of the force of gravity (G) make an angle (.+-.w), 90.degree..gtoreq.w.gtoreq.60.degree. applying to the angle (.+-.w).
