Slot mill
This tool type is used in a variety of applications from simple 2.5D undercut profiles all the way up to machining cavities in Sim. 5 Axis operations. The parametric definition of a slot mill tool also enables you to define a cylindrical tool with a tool shank with a relieved diameter.
A tool of this type is defined with the parameters shown in the image.
