Tool, Tool Diameter, Tool Tip Radius

Click the Tool button to open the tool library. You can then select a tool whose values for Tool Diameter and Tip Radius will be entered into the dialog box. Select the tool you will be using when you cut near the two surfaces.

You can also enter your own values for Tool Diameter and Tool Tip Radius.

Stock To Leave

If you enter a non-zero value for Stock To Leave, it will be added to half the Tool Diameter (the tool radius) and to the Tool Tip Radius to get values for Total Radius and Tip Radius that are used to locate the cutter intersect spline.

When you later analyze the spline using the Analyze > Elements command, you will see the values for Total Radius and Tip Radius.
