Tool tilt

This value allows to modify the tool angle relative to the machined face.

 With a tilting angle equal to zero the bisector of the insert angle will be normal to the machined surface.

The angular value can be positive or negative.

It will be applied throughout the entire tool path.

In the example below:

• The green line represents a 0° tilting.

• The red line represents a tilting (a) of 20°.

If the tool is not a neutral tool, for the machining direction and the X direction of the cutting frame to be colinear, it is sufficient to put a tilting equal to half the insert angle.
