Center drill tool

When this tool is used in combination with the Depth type option, SolidCAM calculates the drilling depth according to the following expression:

Drilling Depth = Tip Length + Arbor Diameter/2 + cotan(Shoulder Angle/2)

Parameter limitations

Parameter	Range
Tip Diameter	Tip Diameter < Arbor Diameter
Tip Angle	0° < Tip Angle < 180°
Shoulder Angle	0° < Shoulder Angle < 180°
Tip Length	Tip Length <= Cutting Length
Cutting Length	Cutting Length <= Outside Holder Length
Outside Holder Length	Outside Holder Length <= Total Length

The length of the conical part defined by Tip Diameter and Tip Angle must be equal to or smaller than the Tip length value. The length of conical part can be calculated according to the following expression: Cone Length = Tip diameter/(2*tan( Tip angle/2)).
