"Cutting tool" refers to a structure, object, apparatus, or device configured to form, shape, or cut into a second object by cutting into, abrading, wearing, or otherwise removing material from the second object. A cutting tool can refer to a manual or power tool for cutting or resecting the second object. The cutting function may be accomplished by moving either the cutting tool, or a blade, or one or more teeth of the cutting tool in contact with the second object while holding the second object stationary. Alternatively, the cutting tool or blades or teeth of the cutting tool may be held stationary while the second object is moved in contact with the cutting tool. In certain embodiments, both the cutting tool and the second object may be moved while in contact with each other. The movements used may be lateral or rotary. The cutting tool or a chuck connected to the cutting tool may rotate relative to the second object or the second object may rotate relative to the cutting tool. Examples, of cutting tools include, but are not limited to, a drill bit, a saw blade, a milling tool, a lathe cutting tool, or the like.
