I'm all for the stationary tool display as well.

Hi Rich:

 Ill stop the tool rotation, I just needed to see the side of it while debuigging..

 The radius setting is just a reminder of the tool radius, but Ill make it perist to your last cut.
The inscibed circle is set to a minimum of .1 , I cant see any tool having an inscribed radius that small myself, that means the entire tool is only .2" wide at a maximum if the inscribed circle is .1

Hi Art,

Just to throw a spanner in the works  ;)

I use tools with an IC of .0196", they are for forming small radii grooves.

Graham:

  Are we talking the same definition of inscribed circle?
TO me, the setting is the largest circle that can be placed on the entire tool..
For example in a triangle insert, the inscribed circle is the size of a circle placed in the center of the triangle. So in your case, the entire
tool insert would be less than .04" wide? How owuld you bold it to a holder?

These are the tools I use, I make small spindles for solenoid valves with them.

Hi Graham,
 I wonder if that type of tool should be defined as a GROOVING tool ?
I asked earlier about defining the IC, TIP RAD. and Holder for the Groover but .....no response.

I use them as profile tools, they do grooving versions too.

The difference is in how they are used, grooving tools don't normally do area clearance, they have a set of paths with variable sizes.

I know Art has only implemented button tools so far, I would class my use of the tool as button tool profiling.

Thanks Graham  :)
This is an air cooled engine cyl.
In this case, I guess the roughing could be plunge cuts with a grooving tool but the finish pass would be with the groover or the button tool, both of which would have the same characteristics/basic dimensions ? Long projection and narrow ? (except for the square corners and flat end on the groover)
BTW...Who is the mfg. of the tools you mentioned ?

Also, in the earlier release, I could set the IC (width) of the groover down small enough to cut this profile with NO finish clearance.

Thanks Graham,
  I see MSC here in ther USSA handles some of the inserts.....but do not list the holders.
I really like the looks of these and will look for a USSA suplier.
Thanks,
