Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of a material removal tool has a housing at a mating end, an extension longitudinally extending from the housing to a distal end, a plurality of spacers arranged along the extension, and a nut at the distal end of the extension, wherein the plurality of spacers are formed from a material having a Young's modulus of greater than about 1.5 times that of steel. The spacers along the extension of the tool place the stiffer material of the spacer at a location of greatest resistance to bending moments (i.e. highest sectional modulus). Optionally preloading and “built-in” relief points contribute to improved performance of the material removal tool. A method of manufacturing a material removal tool and a method of machining a workpiece are also disclosed.
