Cutting speed is the rate of movement of the tool's cutting edge. This also goes by the name of surface speed. Surface area, surface area footage, and surface speed are all correlated with one another. The larger tool has a faster surface speed when two tools of differing sizes are spinning at the same revolutions per minute (RPM).
The distance the tool covers during one rotation of the component is known as the feed rate. The surface finish, power consumption, and rate of material removal are all influenced by cutting speed and feed. The material being cut is the main determinant of feed and speed.
locates the machine's part-independent coordinate system, which serves as the machine tool coordinate system (MTCS). The term "machine tool coordinate system" in this case does in fact correspond to the genuine "machine tool coordinate system".
The step down of a mill, as stated in the resource/insight section, is the amount that the final mill descends for each path. The amount of material cut each level will increase with a higher step down.
Step over is a debugger command that causes the debugger to step over a specified line. Without debugging each line, the function will be called if the line includes one and the result will be returned.
Scallop. A scallop is a little protrusion of material that occasionally lingers between cuts in an end milling operation. A profiling operation can be used to remove scallops along vertical walls.
Axial Depth of Cut (ADOC): The length of time a tool is in contact with a workpiece's centerline. additionally known as Stepdown or Cut Depth.
The depth of cut in milling is two dimensional. The length that the tool engages a workpiece perpendicular to its axis direction is known as the radial depth of cut (AE or RDOC), while the length in its axis direction is known as the axial depth of cut (AP or ADOC). Both of them are measured perpendicular to the direction of the table feed.
» Return to the glossary index. The depth of cut in milling is two dimensional. The length that a tool engages a workpiece while moving perpendicular to it in its axis direction is known as the axial depth of cut (AP or ADOC). The terms "stepdown" and "cut depth" also have the same meaning.
Complex CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) software generates G-code as its output. The type of code that each brand of design software generates will change because there are so many distinct brands of design software accessible.
