The NURBS Cutter supports BALL, BULL and FLAT End Mill Tools. Certain tool parameter entries are critical in order to achieve desired results.
The following tool parameter entries are used to calculate proper toolpath for the three types of tools supported.
Parameter [16]Tool Type (21,22,13,23)
Flat End Mill = 21
Ball End Mill = 22
Bull End Mill = 23
Drill = 13
Parameter [19]Tool Tip Dist to Zero(#)
This parameter will loft the tool path by the amount shown.
Flat End Mill = enter 0.0.
Ball End Mill = enter value of ball radius.
Bull End Mill = enter value of bull nose corner radius.
Parameter [19], "Tool Tip Dist to Zero(#)"
is also used to define corner radius of the tool for Bull End Mills.
Parameter [21]Tool Diameter *TW* (#)
Enter tool diameter regardless of tool type.
Parameter [23]Tool Radius *TR* (#)
Enter tool radius regardless of tool type.
Parameter [24]Tool Cut Depth *TD* (#)
Enter maximum cut depth per machining pass regardless of tool type.
