In machining and woodworking, rake angle refers to the orientation of a cutting tool’s face relative to the workpiece surface. Positive rake angles reduce cutting force, while negative angles enhance tool strength. Machinists, engineers, and hobbyists benefit by optimizing chip flow, surface finish, and tool life, directly impacting precision and efficiency in milling, turning, or planing operations.
