Enum CutterBeamZone

Namespace

HiMech.dll

The part of a milling cutter's beam a cross-section belongs to, read beside the stress ratio (StressRatio) to say where along the cutter the stress peaks and where the overload begins: the flute core, the tapered part of the shank or the constant-radius part of it. Where the section lies tells which lever a user has against a ratio above 1: a peak in the flute or in the taper points at the cut itself, the cutting conditions or the engagement being too heavy for the cutter; a peak in a constant-radius part of the shank points at the stick-out, the cutter held too far out of the holder.

Extension Methods

Fields

Cylinder = 3

A non-cutting constant-radius part of the shank: a section of the exposed upper beam on a segment whose two ends have the same radius — a reduced neck, the shank itself (an ExtendedCylinder upper beam is one such segment up to the holder).

Flute = 1

The cutting part: a section of the flute core (the cutter's InnerBeamProfile), the flute top among them.

None = 0

No section: the ratio was not evaluated (no milling cutter, no beam material, no section outside the tip zone at or above the force height), the step cut nothing (a no-cut brief, whose ratio reads 0 with no section stressed), or, for the onset, no section is over 1.

Taper = 2

A non-cutting tapered part of the shank: a section of the exposed upper beam (UpperBeamGeom) on a segment whose two ends differ in radius — the taper behind a ball or a neck, a chamfer onto the shank.
