Example
Tool dimensions of a toroidal miller with reduced radius as compared with the standard tool.
Tool type R = shank radius r = corner radius
Standard tool with corner rounding R = $TC_TP6 r = $TC_TP7
Real tool with corner rounding:
Tool types 121 and 131 toroidal miller
(end mill)
R’ = $TC_TP6 + $TC_TP15 +
OFFN
r’ = $TC_TP7 + $TC_TP6
In this example
tool type ($TC_DP1) is evaluated.
either
or
$TC_TP15 + OFFN
$TC_TP16 negative.
Only cutter types with cylindrical shank
are permitted (cylinder or end mill) and
toroidal miller (type 121 and 131) and
in the limit case of the cylindrical die
mill (type 110).
For these approved cutter types, the corner radius r is
identical to the shank radius R. All other permitted tool
types are interpreted as cylindrical cutters and the
dimensions specified for the corner rounding are not
evaluated.
All tool types of the numbers 1 –399
with the exception of the numbers 111
and 155 to 157 are permitted.
