The straight fissure (cylinder) head has parallel sides and a flat end, so it cuts straight-walled slots, flat steps and parallel surfaces. Its crosscut (double-cut) toothing removes stock quickly and clears chips well, so it is a shaping rather than a finishing cutter. A 1.6 mm head gives enough edge for shaping while still following tooth-sized contours.
