Hi,

 

I installed the latest update from 9th November and wanted to take a look at the new tool types

 

- Tapered Ball
- Facemill with support for corner radius and/or Chamfer
- Thread Mill

 

especially I am interested in the thread tool, but If I choose the thread tool icon I only get grey entries as you can see here:

Where I can find the new thread tool please?

 

Thanks...

Have you tried creating a new tool?

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't any samples yet, since speeds and feeds for these things are really hard to guess right.

There aren't any samples yet. Creating them is quick and easy. However, the Facemill with angle does take a bit more calculation for it to model properly. Tapered ball and threadmill are actually the same tool choices as before, they just have new fields in them

Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.
