Tool and Tool Holder segments


SolidCAM determines three types of segments of holder or shaped tool geometry.

Cylinder

Diameter

Height

Cone

Top Diameter

Bottom Diameter

Height

Angle

The following rules apply when parameters are changed:

  • Changing of the Angle causes Top Diameter change

  • Changing of the Bottom Diameter causes Height change

  • Changing of the Top Diameter causes Bottom Diameter change

  • Changing of the Height causes Bottom Diameter change

 

Torus

Top Diameter

Radius

Start Angle

Sweep

Bottom Diameter

The following rules apply when parameters are changed:

  • Changing of the Radius causes Bottom Diameter change

  • Changing of the Top Diameter causes Bottom Diameter change

  • Changing of the Bottom Diameter causes Top Diameter change

  • Changing of the Start Angle causes Bottom Diameter change

  • Changing of the Sweep Angle causes Top Diameter change
