The Turn Billet option is available in the turn environment only |
Turn Billets represent stock for turned parts.
Using a turn billet you can, for example, represent more complex rough casting stock (as opposed to simple straight bar stock), to reduce fresh air cutting.
To produce turn billets:
Create a suitable profile to represent your stock around your turn profile geometry, using lines and/or arcs. Make sure this is an open profile.
The profile need not start and/or end on the centreline; this will be enforced automatically.
Click Geometry menu ► Stock/Fixture.
In the dialog that opens set Type to Stock/Fixture, set Shape to Turn Billet and click OK to close the dialog.
Digitise your stock profile.
