Cutterhead

A cutterhead is the part of a machine, such as a tunnel boring machine or a grinding tool, that contains the cutting tools or teeth. It rotates or moves to break, remove, or shape material like soil, rock, or concrete. Think of it as the cutting edge or "mouth" of the machine that does the work of breaking down hard materials during excavation or milling processes. The design and condition of the cutterhead are crucial for efficiency, safety, and the quality of the work performed.
