It means the systematic naming of the various parts and angles of a cutting tool. The signature is a sequence of numbers listing the various angles in degrees and the size of the nose radius in mm. This is a standardised numerical method of identification of a tool. The seven elements that comprise signature of a single point cutting tool are always stated in the order as follows:
1. Back rake angle (in degrees)
2. Side rake angle
3. End relief angle
4. Side relief angle
5. End cutting edge angle
6. Side cutting edge angle
7. Nose radius (in mm)
