Milling tool dimensions
...
Diameter
Diameter of the cutting portion of the tool.
Length
Exposed length of the drill milling tool from tip to end. Any portion of the tool seated in a drill chuck or tool holder should not be included in the length.
...
Length of the fluted cutting section of the drill bittool. The fluted section is indicated in yellow in the Preview and the viewport.
...
Length of the fluted section plusthe smooth section of the drill milling tool. The smooth section of the tool has the same diameter as the fluted section.
...
Arbor diameter = Diameter
Tip angle
Certain milling drill bits tools have an angled tip, such as a counter sink.
...
Note that entering a tip . This includes Chamfer Mill, Dovetail Mill, Taper Mill, and Engraving Mill.
...
Tip angle has no effect on the length of the tool.
Tip radius
Angled tool tips with a flat bottom can be modeled using tip radius.
...
Corner radius
Corner radius can be applied at the outer bottom of the fluted section of some mill tools, such as the Bull End Mill.
...
Barrel radius
For Barrel Mill tools, Barrel radius is used with Diameter and Flute length to model tool shape. The barrel section is fit onto the available Flute length.
...
When defining tool geometry, keep in mind that cell collision detection can be refined such that the flute, arbor, and holder are treated separately for collisions. If the flute is excluded from the collision group for a workpiece, it will allow the flute to come into contact with the workpiece without causing a collision in Robotmaster.
