    QUESTION ABOUT MAKING A TOOL IN TOOLSTORE

    I got a new 3 inch 45 deg face mill (Mitsubishi ASX445R0306C). I am trying to figure out how to make and accurate tool diameter for it. The square inserts (SEMT13T3AGSN-JH) dont come to a point or radius, they have a .078 wide flat spot (F1).
    So the dimensions of the tool in the book says "D1" (small dia) is 3.000" , "D2" (large dia) is 3.520" and the "ap" (max depth of cut) is.236. but when i put them numbers in in the tool store, it doesn't match the flute length or "ap".

    the .059 radius at the corners has to be accounted for,
    set the numbers on the geometry tab,
    click the pencil icon to edit the graphic definition,
    click zoom extents - edit the cutter geometry to
    exactly match the actual tool - add the .059 radii
    (re) define the new cutter graphics
    save the tool graphic .csv file
