1. A cutting tool assembly, comprising:
a tool holder having a rotational axis, the tool holder arranged for attachment to a drive source arranged to rotate the tool holder about the rotational axis and move the tool holder relative to a reference surface;
a cutting tool removably coupled to the tool holder to rotate with the tool holder about the rotational axis, the cutting tool including a cutting surface and having a first portion that faces toward the tool holder and a second portion that is opposite the first portion and faces away from the tool holder, the second portion arranged for placement adjacent to the reference surface; and
a stabilizer carried by the cutting tool, the stabilizer having a bearing surface arranged to be positioned against the reference surface,
wherein contact between the stabilizer and the reference surface stabilizes the cutting tool when the drive source rotates and/or moves the tool holder and the cutting tool relative to the reference surface.
