ANCA Academy November 2018

In today’s tip we’ll show you how to take your fluting operations to a higher level with a couple of handy features. When a flute operation page is open in iGrind, by right clicking in the cross section tab in the Integrated 3D Graphics (I3DG) section it brings up a menu bar with the following options:

• Export to DXF – Exports the flute shape as DXF for comparison to the drawing flute shape or for wheel shape generation.
• Add reference diameter – This comes in handy for checking hook angles or rake angles relative to the smaller diameter especially for step tools.
• Straight lip overlay – Useful for comparing and confirming the flute shape and the lip shape with the point angle inclusive.

These options are available for Flute from Solid and Formed Flute from Solid.
