Yep, that's what it will look like. Actually there will be a sphere on the other end of the shank as well.
The part that is confusing to me is that Bobcad (which I am learning) asks you to define the point of the tool. So If I define the leading edge I can cut the leading edge of the sphere but the tail end is going to be jog'd to compensate for the tool width or radius.
The only way I see it would work would be to cut one half the sphere with one (leading)edge of the tool and then have the program do a finish pass in the other direction using the other edge of the tool.
Is that right?
As far as the chatter, I figured that might be an issue. |
