==CUTTING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18288575 titled 'CUTTING TOOL

The cutting tool described in the patent application has a bar-shaped body portion with a cutting tip at one end and a sensor unit on the surface.

* The sensor unit includes a first sensor to detect a physical quantity of the body portion, a board connected to the sensor, a wireless communication unit to transmit the detected information, and a battery for power.
* The first sensor is located closer to the cutting tip than the battery, enhancing the accuracy of the detected physical quantity.
* The wireless communication unit allows for the transmission of data on the physical quantity detected by the sensor to an external device.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A cutting tool includes a body portion having a bar shape extending from a first end, which is an end on a side where a cutting tip for cutting the workpiece is placed, to a second end, which is an end opposite to the first end, and a sensor unit arranged on a surface of the body portion. The sensor unit includes a first sensor arranged on the surface of the body portion to detect a first physical quantity of the body portion, a board arranged on the surface of the body portion and electrically connected to the first sensor, a wireless communication unit mounted on the board and transmitting a signal containing information on the first physical quantity detected by first sensor to the outside, and a battery arranged in body portion and electrically connected to the board. The first sensor is closer to first end than battery.
