Specify an angle for shank clearance. The side angle can also be used for an undercut.
You can also adjust for tapered tools during Swarf cutting. The tool taper angle is input for Side Angle to maintain the tool shaft parallel to the surface. A larger angle can be used when shank clearance is desired for these tools as well.
A positive angle value orients the tool shaft away from the surface. A value of 90 degrees is normal to the surface.
