2D Milling Diagram

The 2D Milling diagram provides a dynamic illustration of Cutting Parameter recommendations. Any changes to relevant ‘inputs’ are immediately shown in the 2D Milling diagram.

To display the 2D Milling diagram, click the left icon on the display switch (shown to the right).

The 2D Milling diagram has the layout shown in the screenshot to the right.

Notice that the diagram has two components:

• Left image - represents the cutting engagement.

• Right image - represents the z-plane view of the machining process.

Parameters

As annotated in the screenshot, the 2D Milling diagram contains the following recommended parameters:

1. Depth of cut (Ap)

2. Spindle speed

3. Width of cut (Ae)

4. Feed per tooth

5. Feed rate

Each of these parameters, and more, can be amended in the Fine Tune section.

Dynamic adjustments

The 2D Milling diagram is dynamically updated by changes to any of the following inputs:

• Input tabs

• Aggression control sliders

• Fine tune settings
