Ball Turning - using cutting schedule (Software: Ballcut by Marv Klotz)

<< < (3/3)

raynerd:
Right, yes I am understanding this a little more now! The side of the cutting tool is actually over the top of the work cut so the width doesn`t have a bearing! thanks for the writing  David and Bogs for the drawing, together they have helped me understand!  :smart:

May I ask one last thing - what is the  "angular step size" -default at 5 degrees that it asks you to input? I guess this is something to do with the angular increments that the steps form the ball. If you decrease this, you will have more cuts but a better shaped ball unfilled? If you increase this I presume less cuts, but a more stepped ball and therefore more filing to do?
