External Rough toolExternal Rough tool
| A | Defines the width of the tool holder. |
| B | Defines the distance between the tool tip point and the side of the tool holder. Note that a negative value will cause the holder side to move outwards from the tool tip point. |
| C | Defines the height of the tool tip carrier. |
| D | Defines the height of the tool (not including the turret). It must be greater than C. |
| D1, D2 | Define the lengths of the two cutting edges of the tool tip. These lengths define the maximum step down size during turning. |
| a° | Defines the tool tip angle. It must be between 0 and 180 degrees. |
| b° | Defines the angle between the tool tip edge and a Perpendicular passing through the tool tip point. The sum of a and b must be lower than 90. |
| E | Defines the position of the left side of the turret with reference to the tool tip point. A negative value means that the left side of the turret will be to the left of the tool tip point. |
| F | Defines the width of the turret. |
| Radius a° | Defines the tool nose radius. |
This option enables you to define the orientation of the tool, namely: Left or Right. The Offset Point of the tool moves from the left to the right side.
