Abstract:
A cutting tool may include a tool body, blades extending from the tool body, and primary cutting elements and backup cutting elements are on each of blades. The backup cutting elements may be behind and at approximately the same radial distance from the axis of the tool body as a corresponding primary cutting element, where the primary cutting elements include cutting elements having a first non-planar shape and the backup cutting elements include cutting elements having a second, different non-planar shape.
