Cutting-tool engineering

A helical groove along a drill bit or end mill that forms the cutting edge and evacuates chips.

In cutting-tool engineering, flute refers to a helical groove along a drill bit or end mill that forms the cutting edge and evacuates chips. This meaning comes from Knight (2019) in Fundamentals of Metal Machining and Machine Tools. Here flute is not one of the shallow vertical concave grooves running up a column shaft; nor a flute cast: an asymmetric scour-and-fill sole mark recording palaeocurrent direction on a bed base.[1]

Unit
cutting tool
Recovery means
tool geometry inspection
Measured by
flute count; helix angle

Sedimentology

A flute cast: an asymmetric scour-and-fill sole mark recording palaeocurrent direction on a bed base.

In sedimentology, flute refers to a flute cast: an asymmetric scour-and-fill sole mark recording palaeocurrent direction on a bed base. This meaning comes from Collinson (2019) in Sedimentary Structures. Here flute is not one of the shallow vertical concave grooves running up a column shaft; nor a helical groove along a drill bit or end mill that forms the cutting edge and evacuates chips.[2]

Unit
bedding sole
Recovery means
orientation measurement of casts
Measured by
flute orientation; palaeoflow
