18.4 Tool cutting edge
18.4.1 General
Tool cutting edge
The following data are used to describe a tool cutting edge uniquely:
• Tool type (end mill, drill, etc.)
• Geometrical description
• Technological description
Tool parameter
The geometrical description, the technological description and the tool type are mapped to tool parameters for
each tool cutting edge.
The following tool parameters are available for the relevant tool types:
