Has anyone found a way of cutting adepeningspiral helix which replicates the tool profile (which would be a slot drill or end mill cutter.)
I have manufactured the pattened profiles in the attatched snap shot but the width does not represent the cuttersection (say 3mm dia) but the helixends up less about 2.7mm wide??
In the attatchmentis a constant pitch Helical sweep the other option in pro-eng generates what I would call a 5th axis machine profile ???
