how to have a non-cutting holder below cutter

rdix33 · 2013-09-05 19:57:36

Is there a way you can add a non-cutting holder below the cutter? For example think of a keyseat cutter held onto an arbor with a nut. The nut would be non-cutting, then the cutter, then above that would be the shank and holder.

I realize you can turn off the stack feature and assembly however you want, but here, we have the stack feature turned on all the time so that it does mess up any other tools. We have a library with about 1000 tools in it.

So, I've been trying to move a holder feature to in front of the cutter, but it just won't go.

Any ideas out there to do this using the stack feature?

The only way I know to do it is to turn off the stack. We don't use it. We like to see the fit of the shank inside the holders along with non cutting ends on tools.

We have "non_cutting_ends" on many tools to check for over-depth or under sized holes with reamers/taps/bore tools.

If you are creative, you can make the end of your cutter hollow and put this in to assure you don't over-run the ramp angle the cutter is designed for.

Side mills, saws all can use this tool definition.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

I guess I would recommend an improvement request to allow a holder element below the cutting tool using stack. Seems like a pretty easy adjustment.

Thanks for the information.

There's no need for an improvement as it's already possible
define the shank contour as a revolved profile and start below zero. stack uses the zero point.

Awesome. Thanks. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. Great idea.
