Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive and straightforward method for the mathematical modeling of a generic ball-end cutter. In the proposed approach, a mathematical model of the rake surface is developed based on a normal helix cutting edge geometric model. A mathematical model of the flank surface is then derived based on the assumption of a constant clearance angle. The proposed model is applicable to a wide range of ball-end cutters. As a result, it provides an ideal basis for the generation of the NC equations required to machine ball-end cutters on a 6-axis CNC grinding machine.
