"Rake angle" refers to the angle formed between the face of a cutting tooth and a reference line or plane that is perpendicular to the direction of cutting or relative to an axis or plane associated with the tooth or the cutting tool. The rake angle can influence the cutting performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of a cutting tooth by affecting factors such as cutting force, chip formation, surface finish, and tool longevity. The rake angle may be positive, negative, or neutral, depending on the intended application, the type of material being cut, and the desired cutting behavior. Teeth having a rake angle can be incorporated into various components, including, without limitation, wedge osteotomy blades, saw blades, rasp blades, milling cutters, drill bits, surgical instruments, and other cutting, shaping, or abrading tools. The rake angle can be defined, characterized, or measured relative to one or more reference planes, axes, surfaces, or dimensions associated with the tooth or the overall cutting tool.
