Technical requirements

The main requirement is you need to have read and, for the most part, understood all the previous chapters since we won’t explain subjects that we have already dealt with.

Also, as before, we are going to use Sandvik CoroPlus to evaluate the cutting parameters and speed up the process; however, CoroPlus is not strictly needed; for the following pages, you can simply copy the same cutting parameters used in the book.

In this chapter, we will continue with the work we did in Chapter 4; therefore, you should have the same setup ready with the facing operation already set.

We will machine the following features out of a stock with a diameter of 55 mm to complete the example part. In the following diagram, you will find all the dimensions you need to define every geometry detail necessary inside the design environment:

Figure 5.1: Part dimensions

From the diagram, we can spot quite a complex geometry. There is a diameter...
